Official Site of The State of New Jersey

You are strongly encouraged to submit certified payroll in the New Jersey Wage Hub (njwages.nj.gov), the new portal created for all public works projects which also satisfies Diane B. Allen requirements.

If you do not submit your certified payroll via the NJWH portal, you will need to submit Certified Payroll to the DBA email, equalpayact@dol.nj.gov.

All certified payrolls must be submitted to NJ Wage Hub, by statute, as of August 15, 2024, but we hope most contractors will not wait until then to start using the system.

New Jersey Wage Hub enables contractors to:

• Submit certified payrolls in a variety of user-friendly formats including web form, fillable PDF of the MW-562 form, and CSV template
• Easily duplicate and edit certified payrolls week to week
• Receive automatic confirmation of submission and review all previously submitted certified payroll records in a secure, online account

New Jersey Wage Hub enables public bodies to:

• Submit project/contract information for easy access by NJDOL, thereby limiting the information that NJDOL staff must obtain from your staff (saving time and resources on your end)
• View and download certified payroll records submitted by contractors and subcontractors for your projects
• Easily identify missing or invalid information that is being reported by contractors and subcontractors on the certified payroll records they are submitting

You are strongly encouraged to submit your annual Equal Pay Act report in the New Jersey Wage Hub (njwages.nj.gov), the new portal created for all public works projects which satisfies Diane B. Allen requirements.

If you do not submit your annual Equal Pay Act report via the NJWH portal, you will need to submit to the DBA email: equalpayact@dol.nj.gov.

For any work which requires the submission of certified payrolls, those payrolls may be submitted through NJ Wage Hub.

Please be advised that if purchase orders are in any way connected (covered by a ‘blanket’ agreement, subject to an agreement to bill the public body at a certain rate, paid by the public body on the same check, etc.), or if it appears that work is being divided into separate purchase orders for the purpose of evading prevailing wage applicability, the purchase orders would be viewed collectively, in reference to the prevailing wage threshold, and would be viewed as part of a single project, in reference to the certified payroll database.

Use of NJ Wage Hub for submission of certified payrolls will be mandatory beginning August 15, 2024.  It is recommended that contractors begin using it as soon as possible.

Please note that if the public body is not using the NJ Wage Hub, you will also be required to submit certified payrolls to the public body as well.

If prior certified payrolls were provided directly to the public body, they do not need to be submitted to NJ Wage Hub.

Submission of certified payrolls to NJ Wage Hub will satisfy the requirement to submit them to the public body, if the public body is also using the NJ Wage Hub.

Currently, we can accept the certified payroll form in 4 different formats:

1. Enter the information manually in the form in the application
2. Duplicate & edit a previous week's submission
3. Upload an MW-562 filled out here
4. Use the CSV template we provide

There is more information about all of these options in our user guide for contractors.

It is not possible to delete certified payroll that has been submitted. If you wish to make a correction, please submit a new certified payroll with the same week ending date.
