This Podcast Is Episode 628, And It's About Efficient Payroll Implementation For Construction Business Owners mplementing an effective payroll system is crucial for construction business owners, as it directly impacts project management, employee satisfaction, and overall financial health. Given the complexities of the construction industry, including varying pay rates, overtime requirements, and the need for certified payroll reports, developing a streamlined payroll process is essential. Here are some steps to consider: 1. Determine Payroll Needs: Assess the size of your workforce (hourly vs. salaried employees). Identify the types of workers (e.g., subcontractors, full-time employees) and ensure your payroll system can handle various pay rates and classifications. 2. Choose the Right Payroll Software: Look for software that caters to the construction industry's needs, including support for job costing, lien waivers, and compliance with prevailing wage laws. Ensure it has features for tracking time worked, overtime, and benefits. 3. Set Up Employee Information: Gather necessary documentation for all employees, including W-4 forms, identification, and relevant licenses. Enter employee data into the payroll system, including their pay rates, tax information, and benefits enrollment. 4. Establish a Time Tracking System: Implement a reliable method for tracking hours worked. This can be done via paper timesheets, digital time clocks, or mobile apps. Ensure the method complies with labor regulations regarding work hours and overtime. 5. Understand Payroll Tax Obligations: Familiarize yourself with federal, state, and local payroll taxes, including Social Security, Medicare, and unemployment. Set up an account with the IRS and pay estimated taxes regularly to avoid penalties. 6. Communicate with Your Team: Educate your employees about how the payroll system works, including how to report hours worked and any deductions they may see. Keep an open line of communication for any payroll-related questions or concerns. 7. Run Payroll: Determine a payroll schedule (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly) that best suits your business needs. Process payroll on time, ensuring accurate calculations for hours worked, overtime, and deductions. 8. Maintain Compliance: Stay updated with labor laws and regulations specific to the construction industry to avoid compliance issues. Keep records of payroll transactions and employee information for audit purposes. 9. Review and Adjust: Regularly review your payroll processes for efficiency and accuracy. Make adjustments as needed to enhance effectiveness and address any emerging issues. Consider soliciting employee feedback about the payroll process to identify any areas for improvement. By following these steps, construction contractor business owners can implement a payroll system that meets their operational needs and effectively supports their workforce. Now, what if you already have a system in place? Upgrading or changing your payroll system offers numerous significant benefits. Saving time and money, making everyone's lives easier, and improving integration are good reasons to consider a change. But if the switch is mishandled, the results can be catastrophic and lead to long-lasting problems. So, please make sure that you allocate the project the time it requires.

Many moving parts and people will be affected. Ensure that this project receives the time and attention it deserves. Determine what will be necessary to make the transition, understand who it affects, and communicate with everyone involved. The planning process is critical.

Yet, many construction businesses overlook how their new technology can help.

Ensure you are familiar with and understand the features of your new platform. The real-time, monetary, and energy savings will be realized here. Automate anything you can.

Furthermore, integrating payroll with project management and job costing enables better tracking of labor expenses and profitability for each project. Deciding to change your payroll system is a big undertaking. But with some planning and preparation, it can be a smooth and rewarding transition.

Ogletree Deakins' new podcast series, Payroll Brass Tax, offers insights into frequently asked questions about employment and payroll tax. In the inaugural episode, Mike Mahoney (shareholder, Morristown/New York) and Stephen Kenney (associate, Dallas) discuss paid time off (PTO) donation programs, which allow employees to support each other during challenging times, such as natural disasters or prolonged illnesses. Stephen and Mike explain the three types of PTO donation programs—general, medical emergency, and natural disaster—and highlight the tax implications and administrative considerations associated with each type. The speakers emphasize the importance of carefully structuring PTO donation programs to avoid potential tax issues, particularly those related to the assignment of income doctrine, which provides that income is taxed to the individual who earns it, even if the right to that income is transferred to someone else.

Nossos sócios Gabriel Abelheira, Tomás Goulart e Sarah Campos debatem, no episódio de hoje, os principais acontecimentos da semana no Brasil e no mundo. No cenário internacional, foram divulgados dados de mercado de trabalho nos EUA, com destaque para o “Payroll”, que veio acima da expectativa, demonstrando um bom ritmo de criação de vagas e taxa de desemprego estável. Ainda por lá, foi divulgado o PIB do 1º trimestre: apesar do número fraco, consumo e investimento fixo surpreenderam para cima (também podendo ser um efeito de antecipação às tarifas). Foram divulgados resultados de diversas empresas americanas, com destaque para Microsoft e Meta, com resultados positivos; Amazon em linha; Apple mal recebido pelos investidores. As negociações comerciais entre EUA e China parecem estar alcançando tom mais ameno. No Brasil, também foram divulgados dados de mercado de trabalho, indicando devolução da alta observada em fevereiro, mas ainda sem demonstração significativa de desaceleração. Nos EUA, os juros abriram (vértice de 30 anos +9 bps), e as bolsas tiveram bom desempenho – S&P 500 +2,92%, Nasdaq +3,45% e Russell 2000 +3,22%. No Brasil, os juros mais curtos tiveram leve abertura (jan/27 +5 bps), enquanto os juros mais longos fecharam (jan/35 -26 bps), e o Ibovespa subiu 0,29%. Na próxima semana será importante acompanhar a reunião da OPEP, as decisões do Fed e do Copom, dados de atividade nos EUA (ISM de serviços) e dados de inflação no Brasil (IPCA).

Today's Headlines: The U.S. economy shrank by 0.3% in Q1 of 2025, marking its first contraction since 2022 and falling well below forecasts of modest growth. Payroll growth also disappointed, with only 62,000 jobs added—half of what was expected. JP Morgan analysts now consider a mild recession their “base case.” Meanwhile, Trump blamed Biden for the downturn, despite previously taking credit for economic wins. New tariffs are compounding the strain: imports from China are down sharply, shipping volume at the Port of L.A. is projected to drop by 35%, and over 60% of U.S. toymakers have canceled holiday orders, threatening a Christmas goods shortage. During a Cabinet meeting, Trump dismissed the concerns, saying kids might have to settle for fewer, pricier toys. He also finalized a rare earth minerals deal with Ukraine in exchange for military support. Elsewhere, a judge ordered the release of a Columbia student unlawfully detained by ICE after a citizenship interview, and measles outbreaks are spreading in at least 10 states, with Texas cases topping 660.

Lex interviews Josh Reeves, co-founder of Gusto, a company specializing in payroll, HR, and benefits solutions for small businesses. Josh shares his journey from academia to entrepreneurship, highlighting the challenges and strategies involved in building Gusto. The discussion covers the evolution of technology from Web 2.0, the importance of understanding customer needs, and maintaining strong unit economics. Josh emphasizes Gusto's mission to simplify payroll and HR tasks for small businesses, aiming to improve their survival rates and overall efficiency. The episode underscores the significance of product quality and customer satisfaction in navigating industry competition. Notable discussion points: 1. Solving Payroll as a Massive, Underserved SMB Pain Point: Reeves highlighted how in 2011, 40% of small businesses were fined annually due to manual payroll errors. Gusto addressed this pain using cloud and mobile tech, making payroll fast, accurate, and accessible—especially for non-experts. 2. Product Sequencing and the Power of a Payroll-Centric Ecosystem: Starting with payroll, Gusto built a sticky, horizontal product with strong retention. From there, they expanded into benefits, time tracking, and more—adding products based on customer pull and reinforcing their ecosystem. 3. Organizational Evolution: From Founder-Led to Functional and Matrixed: Gusto grew from 3 co-founders to 2,600+ employees by evolving from a hands-on team to a matrix structure. Reeves emphasized hiring leaders suited to each stage and giving small, focused teams autonomy to drive new product development.

Protect the business and your team by identifying and eliminating risk before it derails your growth. One of the most powerful (and often invisible) things you can do in this role is proactively de-risk the business. That means thinking ahead, planning for disruptions, and removing single points of failure that could knock the business off track. In this episode of The Right-Hand Roadmap, we unpack the real meaning of de-risking. It's not about fear—it's about responsibility. We talk through how to evaluate operational systems, vendor dependencies, leadership bandwidth, and revenue streams with fresh eyes. Megan also shares a true story from a tornado that tested her own continuity plans, and an ADA compliance issue that could've quietly cost $20,000 if not addressed.
