— Payroll in North Las Vegas, explained

Why flat-fee payroll fits North Las Vegas headcount swings

Distribution centers along the Losee and Cheyenne corridors staff to volume. Warehouses add ten pickers for a peak and drop them six weeks later. Per-employee, per-run pricing turns that flexibility into a variable bill you can't forecast.

Our fee is flat per month: unlimited runs, unlimited off-cycle checks, direct deposit, all filings, and year-end forms. Hire on a Tuesday, terminate on a Friday, run a correction Monday — same price.

Class codes are where industrial employers overpay

Workers' comp premium in Nevada is set by the annual NCCI audit, not your quote. A fabrication shop whose office staff sits under a welding code, or a fleet where the parts counter is coded as a driver, pays for risk it never carried.

We split payroll by actual duty, strip the excess portion of overtime from the audit base, produce certificates of insurance for every sub, and take the argument to the auditor. Audit defense is included on every account.

Trucking, per diem, and multi-state drivers

Drivers running Nevada to California create two problems at once: which state gets the unemployment wages, and how much of the per diem is nontaxable. Getting either wrong invites a DETR or EDD notice.

We apply the four-factor state test to each driver, split wages by work state, and keep per-diem substantiation on file so the nontaxable portion survives review.

— FAQ

Do you handle high-turnover warehouse and fleet payroll?+

Yes. Onboarding, new-hire reporting, terminations, and final-pay timing are all handled on a flat monthly fee — adding or dropping people mid-cycle never changes your bill.

How much is payroll for a North Las Vegas business?+

Flat monthly fee starting around $189/mo for small crews, including Nevada MBT, DETR unemployment, federal 941/940, W-2s and 1099s, and workers' comp audit defense.

Can you fix bad workers' comp class codes?+

That's our specialty. Warehouse, trucking, and fabrication codes are often applied too broadly. We split payroll by actual duty, exclude excess overtime, and argue it with the NCCI auditor.

Do you handle DOT drivers and per-diem pay?+

Yes — per-diem versus taxable wages, multi-state mileage, and driver settlement pay are all reported correctly so nothing surfaces in an audit.

Can you file our quarterly Nevada Modified Business Tax?+

Yes. We calculate MBT on wages above $50k per quarter, apply the health-insurance deduction, and file and pay with the Nevada Department of Taxation.

— Founder story

Built by blue-collar, for blue-collar.

Profit First Payroll was founded by Matt Frechette, who brings 20+ years of hands-on experience in blue-collar environments.

PFP is built explicitly for trades and labor-heavy businesses: proper crew classification, project-based volatility, and protecting profit in high-risk industries.
