See training options ↓Why this is hard to hire for
Staffing payroll and billing is a specialty hire.
Most payroll and billing candidates come from general accounting. They know how to run a payroll or send an invoice. They have not had to manage pay packages, stipends, VMS reverse billing, or consolidated remittances.
A wrong hire costs you months of training, payroll errors, and margin you never see. We do not just hand you a payroll person. We find someone with the right foundation and prepare them to work inside a healthcare staffing operation.
What the role actually requires
- Travel healthcare payroll
- Pay packages and stipends
- Guaranteed hours
- Overtime, call, and callback
- Timecard validation
- Payroll reconciliation
- VMS reverse billing
- Payroll to billing reconciliation
- Exception handling
- Margin awareness
