Own certified payroll in a high-impact environment where accuracy truly matters. This is a great opportunity to step into a visible role supporting complex, multi-state projects with union and prevailing wage requirements.


Certified Payroll Specialist
Salary: $23–$29/hour


Why This Opportunity Stands Out:



  • Work in a specialized payroll niche with strong demand—certified payroll, prevailing wage, and union reporting

  • Gain exposure to multi-state project work and complex compliance environments

  • Be a key contributor—your work directly supports field teams, employees, and project success

  • Opportunity to improve processes and become a go-to payroll resource

  • Stable, full-time role with competitive hourly pay and overtime potential

  • Comprehensive benefits package including medical, 401(k) with match, and profit sharing

  • Visibility across departments—partner with operations, accounting, and project leaders

  • Join a team that values precision, professionalism, and confidentiality


Key Responsibilities for the Certified Payroll Specialist:



  • Process multi-state payroll for union and non-union employees

  • Prepare and submit certified payroll and prevailing wage reports

  • Review time, wage classifications, and deductions for accuracy

  • Manage union benefit reporting and payroll records

  • Handle payroll adjustments, garnishments, and tax changes

  • Support audits and resolve payroll-related inquiries


Qualifications for the Certified Payroll Specialist:



  • 3+ years of payroll experience (certified payroll or construction strongly preferred)

  • Experience with prevailing wage, union payroll, or multi-state payroll

  • Knowledge of payroll compliance, deductions, and reporting requirements

  • Proficiency in payroll systems and Excel
