Fractional Labor and Compliance Analyst
Capsure's AI validates 100% of certified payroll on submission and flags issues in seconds. A subset of cases require a human expert with direct DOL and IRA PWA experience to adjudicate: ambiguous worker classifications, contested apprenticeship ratios, unusual wage determination scopes, and edge-case fringe benefit calculations. You own the 20% that requires judgment. You review AI-escalated flags, render written regulatory interpretations, advise on compliance logic, and serve as the named expert resource for customer audit defense. The platform handles data entry and documentation.
Key Responsibilities
- Review AI-escalated compliance flags and render written decisions with source citations (CFR, DOL guidance, IRS Notice) for the immutable audit log.
- Adjudicate contested worker classifications: journeyman vs. apprentice, trade classification coverage, and helper category eligibility against applicable wage determinations.
- Evaluate apprenticeship ratio calculations, registered apprenticeship program documentation, and ratio exception requests under IRS Notice 2022-61 and subsequent Treasury guidance.
- Interpret wage determination scope for ambiguous project types, geographic boundaries, and trade classification questions using SAM.gov and DOL resources.
- Translate recurring edge-case decisions into structured rules and documentation that feed directly into Capsure's validation engine.
- Support customers during IRS or DOL inquiry situations: review Capsure-generated audit logs, provide expert commentary, and validate documented compliance decisions.
What We Are Looking For
- IRA PWA expertise: Hands-on experience with Prevailing Wage and Apprenticeship requirements under IRS Sections 45 and 48. You can cite IRS Notice 2022-61, IRS Notice 2023-29, and the PWA Final Regulations without lookup support.
- Davis-Bacon command: Working knowledge of the Davis-Bacon Act and Davis-Bacon Related Acts, including wage determination selection, conformance procedures, fringe benefit calculations, and certified payroll review under 29 CFR Part 5.
- Apprenticeship depth: Deep knowledge of Registered Apprenticeship Programs (RAPs) under 29 CFR Parts 29 and 30. You can calculate ratios, identify exception eligibility, and assess good-faith effort documentation.
- Payroll analysis at scale: Experience reviewing certified payroll reports for wage rate violations, overtime errors, fringe benefit deficiencies, and trade classification mismatches in construction or clean energy contexts.
- Async operator: Comfortable reviewing cases, writing decisions, and logging regulatory rationale independently. 48-hour SLA on standard escalations; same-day response on active cure window situations.
- Clean energy or construction background: Solar, wind, battery storage, or utility-scale construction compliance experience preferred. Tax equity deal structure familiarity is a plus.
Nice to Have
- DOL Wage and Hour Division (WHD) or prevailing wage consulting firm background.
- Labor and employment law practice with a construction or energy focus.
- Experience supporting compliance documentation review in a tax equity due diligence context.
- Familiarity with SAM.gov wage determination database and DOL conformance request procedures.
