Payroll Analyst

CFS • Greenwood Village, CO, US • 20h ago

Payroll Analyst

Location: Centennial, CO Hybrid after training
Compensation: $80,000 – $85,000

Overview

We are seeking a detail-oriented Payroll Analyst to support a high-volume, multi-state payroll environment with a strong emphasis on prevailing wage compliance. This role is responsible for processing weekly payroll for approximately 2,000 employees while ensuring full compliance with Davis-Bacon, PWA, and IRA requirements.

This is not a traditional payroll role. While payroll processing is part of the position, a significant portion of the work involves post-payroll compliance, certified payroll reporting, and manual data validation. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with prevailing wage and be comfortable working in a complex, fast-paced environment.

Key Responsibilities

Process weekly, multi-state payroll using Paylocity for ~2,000 employees
Manage and ensure compliance with certified payroll reporting (CPRs) under Davis-Bacon and prevailing wage regulations
Review, edit, and submit certified payroll reports, including:
- Craft classifications
- Apprentice classifications
- Fringe calculations
Investigate and resolve rejected or inaccurate submissions
Collaborate with Time & Labor and Operations teams to resolve:
- Time discrepancies
- Missed punches
- Job classification issues
Perform manual payroll data manipulation and validation, often requiring advanced Excel work outside of system-generated reports
Reconcile payroll-related general ledger accounts and support accounting with reporting
Maintain and apply fringe schedules for prevailing wage processing
Upload and manage documentation across multiple compliance portals and systems (not limited to a single platform)
Support audits, tax reporting, and DOL or third-party compliance requests
Assist with year-end payroll processing and reporting

What Makes This Role Unique

Heavy focus on prevailing wage compliance vs. standard payroll processing
Requires working with multiple reporting systems and portals, not just Paylocity
Involves manual calculations and data manipulation, not just system-generated outputs
Fast-paced, high-volume environment with strict deadlines
Opportunity to build deeper expertise in a highly specialized and in-demand skill set

Required Qualifications

2-5+ years of payroll experience (multi-state preferred)
Direct, hands-on experience with:
- Certified Payroll Reporting (CPRs)
- Davis-Bacon and prevailing wage regulations
Strong understanding of:
- Wage determinations
- Fringe benefit calculations
- Payroll compliance requirements
Advanced Excel skills (data manipulation, analysis, and reporting)
High level of accuracy and attention to detail
Ability to manage multiple deadlines in a high-volume environment
Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate cross-functionally

Preferred Qualifications

Experience in construction or government-funded projects
Experience with Paylocity or similar payroll systems
Familiarity with multiple certified payroll/compliance platforms (not just one system)

Ideal Candidate Profile

This role is best suited for someone who:

Has true, hands-on prevailing wage experience (beyond simply uploading reports)
Understands how to review, calculate, and validate payroll data manually
Is comfortable working with imperfect system outputs and making corrections
Thrives in a busy, deadline-driven environment
Wants to deepen expertise in a complex and highly specialized area of payroll

Why Join

Competitive compensation and benefits
Collaborative, team-oriented environment
Hybrid flexibility after training
Opportunity to work in a growing, complex payroll operation with long-term career growth
