Under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(ii), contractors must submit certified payrolls weekly for each week in which covered work is performed. The payroll needs only an individually identifying number for each worker — for example, the last four digits of the worker's Social Security number — and each submission carries a signed Statement of Compliance. Optional Form WH-347 satisfies the requirement.
