What the seat files, every week
- NYSDOL certified payroll registration
- Weekly submission against the correct prevailing wage schedule
- Supplemental benefit calculation and reporting
- Apprentice ratio compliance
- Contractor registry status kept current
Why we know this state
New York publishes 1.1 million certified payroll registrations and a 14,000-strong contractor registry, so filing history is a matter of public record.
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 York requires certified payroll registration with the Department of Labor and weekly submission on public works.
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 York?
The contractor is responsible, on every public works contract. New York requires certified payroll registration with the Department of Labor and weekly submission on public works, with contractor registry enrollment before bidding. 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.
