Payrolling for Contractors
Stop carrying payroll risk on project labor. We’ll handle it.
From onboarding and payroll taxes to benefits and compliance, Pro Trades serves as the Employer of Record (EOR) for your project workforce—so you get flexibility without added liability or admin overhead.
Who this is for: GCs and subcontractors who need to scale crews up or down fast, keep jobs on schedule, and de-risk payroll on short-term or trial-to-hire assignments.
We take on employment-law exposure, payroll taxes, and unemployment claims—protecting you from costly disputes.
Extras you’ll feel: trial-before-commitment option and an easy exit path if needs change.
Transparent markups. Avoid premature benefits enrollment on short stints. Reduce overhead while keeping projects moving.
Scale up/down quickly with a trial-to-hire filter. We’ll also look after your talent’s well-being, including mental-health support when you choose our full-benefits option.
Streamlined onboarding and consistent payroll keep jobs on schedule so your team can focus on the build, not back-office tasks.
