Certified payroll specialist
$55k - $60kCreative Financial Staffing
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: $55k-60k
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
- 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
- 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
