Construction Payroll Without the Weekly Headaches
Payroll in the construction industry involves more than calculating hours and issuing checks. Contractors must manage changing crews, multiple projects, overtime, reimbursements, deductions, labor costs, and detailed employee information. Led by Sherri Terry, V2K provides construction-focused payroll administration and financial support to help contractors maintain organized payroll records, track labor costs, and connect payroll information with bookkeeping and job costing. Remote payroll support is available nationwide, subject to service scope and payroll-platform capabilities.

Time and labor-cost tracking
Time & Labor-Cost Tracking
Know Where Payroll Dollars Are Going
Payroll is often one of a construction company's largest expenses. When employee time is not connected to specific projects, job-cost reports may not show the true cost of the work. V2K can help contractors develop practical procedures for recording:
- Employee hours
- Overtime hours
- Project or job assignments
- Service or cost categories
- Non-project time
- Paid time off
- Reimbursable expenses
- Labor corrections
- Approved payroll adjustments
Consistent time information can improve payroll accuracy and create more useful job-costing reports.
Payroll & Job Costing
Connect Labor Expense to the Projects Producing It
A contractor may know the total amount paid to employees without knowing how much labor each project consumed. Connecting payroll with job costing may help the company:
The accuracy of labor-cost reporting depends on complete employee time records and consistent project assignments.
Payroll Processing Support
A Repeatable Process for Every Pay Period
A construction payroll workflow may include:
Collect Payroll Information
Employee hours, project assignments, overtime, reimbursements, bonuses, deductions, and other approved payroll information are gathered.
Review the Information
Hours and compensation details are checked for missing information, unusual entries, or items requiring employer clarification.
Enter Payroll Data
Approved payroll information is entered into the company's payroll platform according to the agreed service scope.
Employer Approval
The employer reviews and approves payroll before it is finalized whenever the selected process requires approval.
Process Payroll
Payroll is processed through the company's authorized payroll platform.
Record and Reconcile
Payroll reports and related bookkeeping entries are reviewed and reconciled with the accounting system.
V2K does not make compensation, hiring, termination, classification, or disciplinary decisions for the employer.
Payroll & Bookkeeping
Payroll Should Match the Financial Records
Payroll affects more than employee checks. It also affects:
- Cash flow
- Job costs
- Payroll liabilities
- Employee benefit expenses
- Workers' compensation information
- Income statements
- Balance sheets
- Project profitability
- Tax preparation
- Financial forecasts
V2K can coordinate payroll information with construction bookkeeping so payroll expenses are recorded consistently and financial reports provide a clearer picture of company performance.

V2K does not guarantee payroll-tax compliance or replace legal advice. The employer remains responsible for accurate employee information, worker classification, registrations, reporting, and timely funding.
Payroll Cleanup & Reconciliation
When Payroll and QuickBooks No Longer Match
Payroll records can become difficult to understand when payments, liabilities, or journal entries are missing, duplicated, or recorded inconsistently. Payroll cleanup may involve:
Cleanup work depends on the records available and may require information or corrections from the employer, payroll provider, or tax professional.

Payroll & Cash Flow
Plan for Payroll Before Payday Arrives
Payroll must be funded regardless of whether customers have paid their invoices. V2K can help contractors monitor:
- Upcoming payroll dates
- Expected payroll expense
- Payroll-tax withdrawals
- Customer payment timing
- Accounts receivable
- Available cash
- Project billing schedules
- Other major upcoming expenses
Payroll cash-flow planning does not eliminate uncertainty, but it can give business owners more time to respond to potential shortages.
