payroll specialist

$23 - $29 per hour

Creative 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: $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
