when does certified payroll need to start being filed? When contract is signed? Or on first week employees have been on site?

Generally, certified payroll reports will be submitted after the relevant payroll has run. So, if there hasn't been any payroll run for a specific job, then it makes sense that a certified payroll report wouldn't yet be required.
However, I'll be the first to admit that I'm not an expert regarding the ins and outs of certified payroll requirements and the relevant documentation requirements. And, it's possible that certain documentation relevant to certified payrolls would be needed earlier on a job.
For more clarity on how to comply with prevailing wage and certified payroll requirements, a prevailing wage lawyer or consultant might more helpful, and there are also providers like eBacon that could help solve problems, too.
