Certified Payroll in Minnesota
Soft Home Global provides Davis-Bacon and state prevailing wage filing for Minnesota public works contractors at $1,650 per seat per month. Full time, worked during Minnesota business hours, inside your own system.
What is specific to Minnesota
Minnesota has its own prevailing wage act covering state-funded construction, with the Department of Labor and Industry certifying rates by county and job class and contractors keeping certified payroll on covered projects.
A rejected filing that sits unworked is the same as no filing, and on a Minnesota public job it can hold up a progress payment on the whole contract. The seat works rejections until the state marks the record approved.
What a certified payroll seat does in Minnesota
Davis-Bacon and state prevailing wage, filed weekly into whichever portal the agency uses.
- WH-347 or the state equivalent produced weekly
- Workers classified against the right determination for county and trade
- Base rate split from fringe, credits applied correctly
- Apprentice ratios checked before filing
- Rejection queue worked until every report reads ACCEPTED
- Worked during Minnesota business hours, not queued overnight
Working Minnesota hours
Minnesota runs on Central time, 11 hours behind our floor in Rawalpindi. To be at a desk for your nine to five, the shift here runs 8pm to 4am, and 7pm to 3am once the clocks go forward. Pakistan does not observe daylight saving, so the shift moves on this side rather than yours.
That is the part that decides whether follow-up happens at all: a payer’s phone lines are open on Minnesota hours and nobody else’s.
What it costs in Minnesota
$1,650
Per seat, per month, in US dollars — $19,800 a year for one full-time person, forty hours a week, on Minnesota hours. No annual contract, no percentage of collections, no setup fee and no software to buy. Seat prices across all roles in Minnesota run $1,550 to $2,550; the full list is published.
That is the entire invoice. Run your own figures against a percentage vendor or a hire rather than take ours.
Getting started in Minnesota
About a week from a signed agreement to a person working your queue, and that week of training on your workflow is not billed on top. The work happens in your own system under a login you issue, so there is nothing to migrate and nothing to install. The week, step by step, and what is signed before anyone has access.
Questions
Do you work with Minnesota contractors?
Yes. Minnesota accounts are worked during Minnesota office hours rather than queued overnight, because a payer's phone lines are open then and at no other time.

Minnesota has its own prevailing wage act covering state-funded construction, with the Department of Labor and Industry certifying rates by county and job class and contractors keeping certified payroll on covered projects.
How much does certified payroll cost in Minnesota?
$1,650 per seat per month — $19,800 a year for a full-time person, forty hours a week. Every seat price is published at softhomeglobal.com/pricing.
What hours will somebody actually be working our Minnesota queue?
Minnesota is on Central time, 11 hours behind Rawalpindi. The shift here runs 8pm to 4am so your seat is at a desk for your full working day, shifting to 7pm to 3am while daylight saving is in force — Pakistan does not observe it, so the change happens on our side.
Do you file certified payroll for Minnesota yourselves?
We prepare and submit the weekly filings for your crews and work the rejections until the record is accepted. We are not your legal adviser on wage determination or classification disputes — where a call is genuinely a legal question, we will say so rather than guess, because a wrong classification is your liability and not a clerical matter.
Is this a percentage of what you collect?
No — a flat monthly rate per seat, published at softhomeglobal.com/pricing. A percentage bills you most in your best month and points the vendor at the easy accounts.
What is the minimum commitment, and how quickly can somebody start?
One seat for one month, cancellable on thirty days notice, and about a week from a signed agreement to a person working your queue. The week of training is not billed. The steps are at softhomeglobal.com/how-it-works.
Is our patient data safe offshore?
A Business Associate Agreement is signed before anyone has access, and the work happens in your own system under a login you issue, so every action is attributable to a person in your audit trail. The controls are listed at softhomeglobal.com/security.

Twenty minutes on a call is enough to tell whether this fits. If it does not, I will say so.
