U. S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR WAGE AND HOUR AND PUBLIC CONTRACTS DIVISIONS OFFICE OF THE ADMINISTRATOR WASHINGTON 20210 July 17, 1968 MEMORANDUM # 77 TO: AGENCIES ADMINISTERING STATUTES REFERRED TO IN 29 CFR, SUBTITLE A, PART 3 FROM: Clarence T. Lundquist, Administrator Wage and Hour and Public Contracts Divisions SUBJECT: 1. Amendment, 29 CFR, Part 3.3(b), Weekly Statement of Compliance 2. Form WH-347, Optional Payroll Form Form WH-347-Inst., Instruction Sheet for Form WH-347 Form WH-348, Statement of Compliance 1. Paragraph (b) of 29 CFR 3.3 requires that a "weekly statement with respect to the payment of wages" accompany payrolls submitted to con- tracting agencies in connection with work performed on contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act and various related statutes. On July 17, 1968, a revision of paragraph (b) of 29 CFR 3.3 will appear in the Federal Register. This amends the text of the weekly statement to include infor- mation as to the payment of fringe benefits. However, the text of the statement will no longer appear in 29 CFR 3.3(b); it is contained in new Forms WH-347 and WH-348. 2. Form SOL-184, previously used by contractors on an optional basis to report weekly wages paid, has been replaced by Form WH-367, also optional. The text of the "weekly statement with respect to the payment of wages" appears on the reverse side of this new optional payroll form. A contractor may use the new payroll form or an appropriate payroll form of his own choice. If he uses his own payroll form, he must attach a copy of the weekly statement using either new Form WH-348, on which the weekly statement is printed separately, or any form with the identical wording. An instruction sheet, Form WH-347-Inst., is provided to assist contractors in completing Form WH-347, the payroll form. 3. The new forms will be available for purchase from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D, C. 20402, on July 12, 1968. Form WH-347, the optional payroll form, will be printed in pads of 100 (including one copy of the instruction sheet, Form WH-347-Inst., with each pad) and will cost $1.75 per pad. Form WH-348, the "weekly state- ment with respect to payment of wages", will also be printed in pads of 100, and will cost $1.25 per pad. 4. Attached for information is a copy of each new form, WH-347, WH-347-Inst., and W-348. The Department of labor will not stock these forms.
