Payroll

Run every rate on the job in one pass

Configure position-based rates for Davis-Bacon, union scale, or shop rate — once per classification, calculated automatically in every pay run.

Job-site tax

Withhold where the work happened

State and local tax stays tied to the crew's job site, project to project and across state lines, so filings hold up when work spans jurisdictions.

Crew access

Give crews one place for pay and HR

Through Green Employee, field crews and managers get pay info, tax documents, onboarding, PTO, and benefits, wherever the work takes them.

At hire

Get them on the crew

W-4, I-9 and E-Verify, and direct deposit come in from the field before the first shift, so a new hire is ready to be paid on day one.
In the field

Log hours where they happen

Time posts against the classification and location as it's captured, so the rate and the cost code are settled up front, not sorted out later.
On payday

Let every rate sort itself

Position-based rates and add-on pay rules for prevailing wage or union scale calculate automatically, alongside multi-state tax, in one pass. Your payroll admin reviews the numbers instead of building them.
When reporting's due

Sign it without flinching

Classifications, hours, and rates are ready to scope into a report to Points North or your provider, so the attestation you put your name on is backed by data that was right all week.

Greenshades keeps work-location information connected to the employee and pay run, helping the payroll team apply supported state and local tax treatment as crews move between job sites. The exact setup depends on how work-location data enters payroll and how the account is configured.

Greenshades processes payroll. Through a Professional Services engagement, a custom payroll data report can be scoped for Points North or another certified-reporting provider you already use. Report availability, required fields, implementation, and exception handling depend on the provider and project.

Greenshades can keep payroll connected to supported ERP and finance workflows without requiring a full ERP migration. Available integrations and data flow depend on the system, version, and implementation.

Greenshades supports configurable earning scenarios, multiple pay rates, payroll review before submission, and off-cycle payroll when corrections or timing changes require it. The exact configuration should be reviewed against the contractor’s pay policies and source data.
