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.
