Union, Certified Payroll & Prevailing Wage Support: Support union payroll requirements including wage rates, fringe calculations, dues, deductions, jurisdictional rules, benefit remittances, and CBA-specific provisions. Assist with certified payroll reporting, prevailing wage documentation, and project-specific payroll requirements.

Resolve issues with urgency while maintaining approval discipline and documentation. Track recurring inquiry types and payroll defects so leadership can address training gaps, system setup issues, or process failures.
Controls, Compliance & Audit Readiness: Follow documented payroll controls for master-data changes, pay-rate changes, deductions, garnishments, manual checks, off-cycle payments, union setup, bank changes, and payroll approvals. Maintain complete support for adjustments, corrections, reconciliations, and exceptions. Support monthly, quarterly, and annual activities including tax support, W-2 preparation, unemployment requests, garnishment administration, benefit deduction review, and year-end payroll cleanup.

Assist with testing payroll system changes, new earning/deduction codes, union setup, timekeeping rules, tax updates, acquisition integration, and process automation. Recommend improvements that reduce manual work, repeated corrections, off-cycle payrolls, and spreadsheet dependency.

Operating Cadence:

Daily during payroll processing: Review assigned timekeeping exceptions, missing approvals, coding issues, and payroll inbox/escalation items.
Weekly: Complete payroll checklist, submit assigned payroll workstreams, document exceptions, support post-payroll review, and update issue logs.
