# Payroll

ProForge Core helps you track employee hours, generate certified payroll reports, and manage union wage requirements -- all tied to your projects and cost codes so labor costs flow straight into your job reports.

## What You Can Do

1. **Enter weekly hours** by employee, day, project, and cost code.
2. **Generate certified payroll reports** (WH-347) for prevailing wage jobs.
3. **Track qualified overtime** for the OBBBA tax benefit (IRS Notice 2025-69).
4. **Verify union wages and fringes** against required rates and generate union reports.

## How It Fits Together

Payroll hours entered here feed directly into your project cost reports. When you enter 8 hours of electrical work on a project, that labor cost shows up in the job cost report under the correct cost code. This means you do not need to enter hours in one place and costs in another -- it is all connected.
