  • Verify payroll deductions, including garnishments, union dues, benefit contributions, and retirement plans.
  • Maintain and track multiple union base pay rates and fringe benefit rates across different crafts, collective bargaining agreements, contracts, and reporting periods.
  • Maintain accurate and up-to-date employee payroll records in compliance with company policies, labor regulations, and applicable union agreements.
  • Respond to employee inquiries regarding paychecks, deductions, timesheet discrepancies, and union-related payroll matters.
  • Assist with the preparation of payroll-related reports, including overtime tracking, workforce headcount, labor cost allocation, and union reporting summaries.
  • Provide support during internal and external audits (e.g., union audits, Department of Labor audits, MTA audits, DDC or city agency reviews) by maintaining organized records and producing required documentation.
  • Maintain strict confidentiality of sensitive payroll and employee information at all times.

EDUCATION AND QUALIFICATIONS

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or related field required.
  • 5+ years of payroll or accounting experience, preferably in construction or large-scale infrastructure projects.
  • Must have knowledge of New York State and New York City payroll practices, including prevailing wage laws, overtime regulations, wage theft prevention requirements, and applicable tax and labor compliance laws.
  • Experience processing union payroll in New York City, with familiarity in collective bargaining agreements and prevailing wage compliance, strongly preferred.
  • Strong familiarity with certified payroll requirements under the Davis-Bacon Act, as well as local city and state reporting requirements (e.g., LCPtracker, Elation Systems, or similar platforms).
  • Proficiency in payroll or ERP systems (e.g., Vista by Viewpoint, CMiC, Sage, ADP Construction Payroll) and Microsoft Excel (vlookups, pivot tables).
  • Strong attention to detail and accuracy in data entry.
  • Ability to manage confidential information with discretion and professionalism.
  • Strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.
  • Must be flexible with working hours, including the ability to work mid-day / evening (2nd shift) schedules as project needs require.
  • JOB REQUIREMENTS

  • Ability to manage high volumes of employee records and union classifications across multiple shifts and work locations.
  • Understanding of project-based labor cost tracking and job costing structures, including cost codes, labor codes, and work package reporting.
  • Ability to interpret and apply collective bargaining agreements across multiple trades.
  • Strong understanding of certified payroll laws, union fringe benefits, and prevailing wage classifications.
  • Comfortable supporting field supervision in resolving timekeeping or classification disputes.
  • Must maintain confidentiality and handle sensitive payroll data in accordance with company policy and legal regulations.

  • Must be able to sit, type, and review payroll documentation for prolonged periods with accuracy.
