California DIR electronic reporting
We prepare and submit electronic certified payroll records through California DIR eCPR.
Prevailing wage & certified payroll
Complex payroll. Organized, clear records.
Tidwell helps trade contractors with the certified payroll records and DIR reports public works projects require. We work from the wage rates and classifications you provide, keeping the paperwork organized and supporting timely reporting.
Specialized support for public works paperwork
Prevailing wage projects involve detailed payroll records, submissions, and fringe benefit tracking. Our team understands the reporting needs of general contractors, subcontractors, and specialty trades, including California public works and Davis-Bacon projects.
How we help
Careful attention to every part.
Certified payroll records
We record the wage rates and classifications you provide and organize payroll information for public works projects.
Fringe benefit tracking
We track fringe benefit contributions alongside wages to support your certified payroll reporting.
Davis-Bacon reporting support
Our certified payroll services include WH-347 reporting support for Davis-Bacon projects, using the project information and rates you supply.
Connected monthly bookkeeping
Reconciliations, accounts payable and receivable, job costing, and financial reporting help keep project payroll connected to your books.

Good to know
Who provides the wage rates and classifications?
You provide the applicable wage rates, classifications, and project information. Tidwell uses that information to prepare payroll records, track fringe benefits, and support required reporting.
How is certified payroll priced?
Certified payroll is priced by the number of public works projects and your payroll frequency, and we define the scope in a written proposal. Because every project gets careful review, we add new certified payroll work selectively.
Can certified payroll be handled remotely?
Yes. We work remotely across California, with meetings at our Atascadero office by arrangement. You provide the wage rates and classifications for each project, and our team prepares the records and reports from there.
Certified payroll help
A contractor’s experience
Tidwell Bookkeeping has been part of the Semmes & Co Team for over a decade.
They are solid as a rock, making my job easier. With the extensive reporting and legal filings required these days, it is relieving to have their vast experience driving these deliverables, enabling my corporation to operate confidently and without penalty. I speak of the level of competence at Tidwell Bookkeeping with great enthusiasm, however, I certainly would be remiss if I failed to mention how absolutely pleasant and upbeat their staff remains and what a positive impact that has on the morale of my entire team. I would emphatically refer Tidwell Bookkeeping to anyone looking to kick their business up to the next level of professionalism.

Certified payroll is priced by project count and payroll frequency. We take on a limited number of new certified payroll projects at a time, so each one gets careful review. See pricing
