About the Role
We're looking for an experienced Certified Payroll and Prevailing Wage Compliance Specialist to own our compliance function and raise the standard for how it's done. This is a hands-on, high-ownership position: you'll be responsible for getting our payroll compliance back on solid footing, putting durable processes in place, and training our office team to run them correctly.
We'll be direct — the department has been left in disarray by a previous employee. The person who steps into this role needs to be comfortable auditing and repairing existing records, not just maintaining a clean system. If you enjoy bringing order to a mess and teaching others to keep it that way, this is the job.
Key Responsibilities
Certified Payroll & Prevailing Wage
- Prepare, review, and submit certified payroll reports for all prevailing wage projects
- Ensure compliance with Davis-Bacon, state, and local prevailing wage requirements, including DIR (Department of Industrial Relations)
- Monitor wage determinations and verify classifications, rates, and fringe benefit calculations for all trades on site
- Track apprentice ratios and verify journey-level documentation where required
- Handle wage restitution and back-pay corrections when discrepancies are found
DIR Website & LCPtracker
- Submit and manage certified payroll through the DIR website (eCPR)
- Maintain all project records in LCPtracker, including setup, weekly uploads, error resolution, and reporting
- Reconcile LCPtracker data against internal payroll records to confirm accuracy
Compliance & Documentation
- Audit historical certified payroll records and correct errors, gaps, and missing submissions
- Maintain compliance files for audits, agency reviews, and project closeout
- Prepare for and support DIR, agency, and prime contractor audits
- Serve as the compliance point of contact for agencies, primes, and subcontractors
Training & Process
- Train office staff on certified payroll preparation, DIR submittals, and LCPtracker workflows
- Build written procedures and checklists so compliance doesn't depend on one person
- Serve as the in-house expert for questions on prevailing wage and compliance
Requirements
- Required: Hands-on experience with the DIR website (eCPR) and LCPtracker
- Required: Demonstrated experience with certified payroll and prevailing wage projects
- Strong knowledge of prevailing wage law and compliance requirements
- Experience auditing and cleaning up non-compliant or incomplete payroll records
- Ability to work independently and manage multiple project deadlines
- Comfortable training and mentoring office staff
- years of relevant payroll or compliance experience
