If your Certified Payroll Report (CPR) is rejected, you can update incorrect information and resubmit it. If an employee was underpaid, you can also add an adjustment to report the additional payment.

Make sure you have:

• Details about why the CPR was rejected
• Correct craft and fringe benefit package information
• Adjustment payment details (if additional pay is required)

Open the Rejected CPR

On the main Dashboard, you will find a list of any rejected CPRs under the Actions Items section.

1. Select the project for the rejected CPR.
2. Select your company name.
3. Locate the CPR with the red Rejected Status. If you hover over this status, the reason for the rejection will appear.
4. Select Actions and then select Modify to open the CPR.

You may need to update employee information if, for example, the craft indicated is incorrect or you can make a payment adjustment if the hourly rate of pay is non-compliant. For more information, see Identifying Reasons for Rejected Certified Payroll Reports (CPRs)
