What the seat files, every week
- NJ Wage Hub submission every pay period
- Public works contractor registration kept current
- Classification against the New Jersey prevailing wage determination
- Subcontractor certified payroll collected and submitted
- Corrections filed when a public body rejects a record
Why we know this state
The NJ Wage Hub holds 718,000 certified payroll filings across 24,000 public contracts, all publicly searchable.
That is public filing data, not a claim about clients. We read what the state accepts and what it bounces, which is a different and more useful thing than knowing the form.
The rule that catches people out
New Jersey certified payroll is submitted through the NJ Wage Hub and is publicly searchable by the awarding body.
What it costs
$1,600
Per seat, per month. One full time person covers weekly certified payroll across multiple active jobs. Compare that against what a rejected filing costs you when it holds a progress payment on a public contract.

Questions
Who files certified payroll in New Jersey?
The contractor is responsible, on every public works contract. New Jersey runs the NJ Wage Hub, where certified payroll for public works is submitted and made searchable by the awarding public body. A Soft Home Global seat does the filing on your behalf and works the rejections, but the legal responsibility stays with you, which is why every submission is visible to you before and after it goes.
What does it cost?
A certified payroll specialist is $1,600 per seat per month. Full time, forty hours a week, on US hours. One seat covers weekly filing across multiple jobs and multiple crews.
What happens when a filing is rejected?
It gets worked until the state marks the record approved. A rejected filing that sits unworked is the same as no filing, and on a public job that can hold up payment on the whole contract.
Do you need access to worker personal data?
Only what the filing itself requires, inside your own payroll system, through a named login you issue. Nothing is exported, printed or copied out. When the engagement ends we hold nothing.
