New Jersey public work · school construction

Certified payroll a school board will actually take.

PayCert NJ turns a weekly spreadsheet into a WH-347-style certified payroll PDF. Built for contractors on NJ prevailing-wage jobs — especially school additions, roofs, and municipal work in the RIS Construction network.

Demo login is seeded. No payment processing in this MVP. Operated by Blagoj Peovski / RIS Construction.

Self-serve

Upload. Map columns. Download the PDF.

1. Create the job

Company, project number, contracting agency, week ending. That’s the header the GC already expects.

2. Drop in the week’s CSV

Map employee name, last-4, trade, ST/OT hours and rates. We remember the map for the company.

3. Review the checklist

Missing trades, 40+ hours with no OT, blank last-4s. Warnings first — only critical gaps block the download.

Who it’s for

New Jersey contractors who still build certified payroll in Excel the night before it is due.

  • School-district additions, roofs, and interior packages
  • Municipal and county public-work subs under a GC
  • Shops that export hours from ADP, QuickBooks, a time clock, or (soon) Xero — CSV only in this MVP
  • Owners who want a done-for-you review instead of another SaaS login

Pricing

Run it yourself, or have RIS check the week.

Cards are informational for this MVP — no checkout. Invoice or retainer conversations happen with Blagoj Peovski.

Phase 2 · not in this demo

Connect Xero — coming soon

Roadmap

After a shop is live on Xero, they (or RIS as advisor) will connect that org, pull the week’s employees and timesheets, map earnings rates to prevailing-wage trades, and generate the same certified payroll PDF. US Xero Payroll is Gusto-powered — we operate their Xero/Gusto as a service. We do not invent tax filing in this app.

Today: email or upload a CSV. Phase 2 package (invoiced): setup + monthly bookkeeping/payroll ops + $75–$150 per certified week.
