Certified payroll from Gusto

Gusto does not have a built-in certified payroll report, but its Payroll Journal has most of what a WH-347 needs. Here is how to export it and what you still have to add.

What Gusto has for certified payroll

Gusto's admin reports include payroll, tax, time and benefits reports, but no certified payroll or WH-347 report as of October 8, 2026 [Gusto help]. The data is there; the WH-347 layout, WD classifications and fringe columns are not.

Export the Payroll Journal

  1. Go to Reports, then Payroll Journal.
  2. Set the date range to the pay period. Use the Employee filter if only part of the crew worked on the project.
  3. Select Generate Report.
  4. Select Download and choose CSV [Gusto help].

Export daily hours (if you use Gusto Time Tracking)

  1. Go to Reports and select Time Tracking Hours.
  2. Set the date range and select Generate Report.
  3. Download as CSV [Gusto help].

For hours by project, Gusto's project tracking report (under Time & Attendance) can be downloaded as CSV too. Without daily time, you type each worker's days in LevelWage's grid; the total has to match the journal before you can submit.

Build the WH-347 from Gusto

Upload the Payroll Journal CSV (and the hours CSV if you have it). Pick each worker's WD classification once, confirm the days, and get back a checked WH-347 package. Pay periods that cross workweeks are split by date.
