Who signs the WH-347, and does it need a notary?

The person who paid or supervised the payment of the workers signs and dates the statement and gives a phone number and email. The statement need not be notarized. A legally valid electronic signature is acceptable (an electronic process that records acceptance and verifies the signer's identity); a photocopied or scanned signature is not. Then the payroll goes, within 7 days after the regular payment date, to the agency if it is a party to your contract, or to the applicant, sponsor or owner that keeps the records, for transmission to the agency; a subcontractor normally hands it to the prime, who is responsible for every subcontractor's payrolls (29 CFR 3.4(a); 5.5(a)(3)(ii)(A)).

Watch out: The form's own words: willful falsification of any of the statements may subject the contractor or subcontractor to civil or criminal prosecution (18 U.S.C. 1001 and 31 U.S.C. 3729) and debarment. The DOL instructions add that the statement is subject to the penalties of 18 U.S.C. 1001, a fine, imprisonment of not more than five years, or both, and that the signer should know the facts. Certify numbers you can account for.
