Robert Half • Napa, CA • 1d ago

Description

We are looking for a Payroll Accountant to support payroll and accounts payable operations for a construction organization. This Long-term Contract position is centered primarily on weekly payroll administration, while also assisting with invoice processing and project-related cost allocation. The role requires strong follow-through, accuracy, and the ability to work effectively with field and office teams in a fast-paced environment. After an initial onsite training period, the position will move to a hybrid schedule with regular onsite collaboration.

Responsibilities:

Manage end-to-end weekly payroll processing for employees across the organization, ensuring accurate and timely pay each cycle.

Review and monitor time entry in CMiC, following up with employees, supervisors, and field leaders to resolve missing, late, or incomplete timecards.

Administer payroll-related leave activity, including leave of absence cases, workers' compensation situations, and balance adjustments when employees return to active status.

Maintain payroll records and coordinate the flow of payroll data between CMiC and Paylocity to support accurate processing and reporting.

Process per diem payments and employee reimbursements, helping improve turnaround times and maintain consistent payment practices.

Support accounts payable functions by entering, reviewing, and organizing invoices with careful attention to proper coding and documentation.

Assign labor and expense costs to the correct jobs and cost categories to help maintain accurate project financial records.

Partner with accounting and operational teams to address payroll discrepancies, resolve pay-related questions, and uphold internal controls.

Requirements - At least 3 years of experience in payroll, with hands-on responsibility for full-cycle payroll processing.

Prior experience in the construction industry is strongly preferred, particularly in environments with project-based cost tracking.

Proficiency with CMiC is required for timekeeping, payroll support, and job cost allocation activities.

Experience using Paylocity or a comparable payroll platform in a high-volume setting.

Knowledge of accounts payable processes, including invoice handling and expense coding.

Strong ability to manage deadlines, follow up persistently on outstanding items, and maintain accuracy in a weekly payroll environment.

Familiarity with payroll taxes, reimbursements, and multi-state payroll practices is preferred.

Excellent organizational and communication skills, with the ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a hybrid setting.
