Pay applications and early pay

If your contract is billed by pay application, open Pay applications:

  1. Start the period’s application. Your schedule of values is already there.
  2. Enter work completed this period and materials stored on each line. You cannot bill a line past its scheduled value.
  3. Upload a certified payroll for each week the application covers, if prevailing wage applies, and the conditional lien waiver for this payment. Upload the unconditional waiver for your previous payment once you have been paid.
  4. Submit. The engineer certifies it or returns it with a note.

Retention is withheld at the contract’s rate and shown on each application, with its release date after completion.

If the agency offers funded early pay, approved invoices show an option to be paid now. A funder pays you the invoice amount less its fee; the agency then pays the funder on the due date. Nothing changes for the agency, and you choose invoice by invoice.
