Free DOT Worker Tracker for Certified Payroll

Stop hunting for worker info on payroll day. Grab the free DOT worker tracker built for landscape, tree and hydroseeding contractors.

One email, one spreadsheet. No spam, and you can unsubscribe with one click.

One spreadsheet that keeps every DOT worker’s name, classification, wage rate, and fringe info in one place, so payroll day isn’t a scavenger hunt.

It’s Thursday night. The certified payroll report is due, and you’re flipping between paper files, texts, and last week’s report to figure out who’s an apprentice, what their rate is, and what fringe you’re crediting. Sound familiar? (Yep, been there with my clients.)

What’s on the pageĀ 

  • Room for 30 workers, with 3 rows each. Use the extra rows for a rate change, a new classification, or an added deduction.
  • Columns labeled with the same numbers you see on the payroll form (1B, 1C, 1D, 1E, 2, 3, 6A, 6B, 6C, 8), so you can copy across without thinking.
  • A dropdown for Journey Worker or Registered Apprentice, so nobody types it three different ways.
  • A section for apprenticeship program name, labor classification, and OA or SAA verification.
  • Fields for contractor or project, contract number, and payroll week ending.
  • A sample row so you can see how to fill it in.
  • It prints cleanly on one landscape page.

Who it’s for

  • Landscapers, hydroseeders, and lawn care companies on DOT jobs
  • Tree services and other NCDOT subcontractors
  • Anyone who’s tired of rebuilding the same worker list every week

How it works (3 steps)

  1. Download the tracker.
  2. Fill in each worker once. Update only when a rate, wage or classification changes.
  3. Use it as your cheat sheet when you build your certified payroll.
