Payroll Manager

Ready to step into a high-impact payroll leadership role and prepare for a planned succession? This opportunity in Dayton, OH offers the chance to take ownership of a complex payroll function, bring fresh ideas to improve processes, and become the go-to payroll expert for a well-established construction organization.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Planned succession opportunity. Opportunity to evaluate and improve payroll processes, controls, and system efficiency. High level of ownership over payroll operations for both field and office employees. Exposure to union payroll, collective bargaining agreements, and construction accounting practices.

Target Compensation: $95,000–$105,000

Key Responsibilities For The Payroll Manager

Manage the full payroll cycle for field and office employees from data collection through final processing. Review payroll for accuracy including overtime, deductions, garnishments, benefits, and tax withholdings. Interpret and administer collective bargaining agreements, including wages, classifications, and fringe benefits. Coordinate union dues, pension, health and welfare, and other contractual payments. Perform payroll audits, reconciliations, system maintenance, and compliance reporting.

Qualifications For The Payroll Manager

5–10 years of progressive payroll, accounting, or finance experience. Union payroll experience and knowledge of collective bargaining agreements strongly preferred. Construction industry experience preferred. Experience with Paycom, Viewpoint, or similar payroll/accounting systems and advanced Excel skills.
