Consultant, LLC
At our core, we are a full-service labor compliance company dedicated to ensuring that every contractor, regardless of size, meets all regulatory standards on state, federal, or dual-jurisdiction projects, providing a hassle-free outsourcing experience.
Our mission is to streamline the compliance process, making it efficient and straightforward, so our clients can focus on their projects with peace of mind, knowing every detail is meticulously handled.
Karissa Scott, Founder and CEO, says: “My journey began about ten years ago when I joined the family construction business as an administrative assistant”.
Quickly moving up to lead our Labor Compliance department, I realized the complexities of the role and dedicated myself to mastering the details of the DIR website and labor laws. In 2015, I witnessed the shift towards digital monitoring of certified payroll, which brought new challenges and opportunities. This inspired me to launch my own company, focusing on providing comprehensive labor compliance services.
