DESCRIPTION
A government authority in Cedar Rapids, Iowa is seeking a vendor to provide a comprehensive pay practices audit service for its municipal workforce. The audit will cover approximately 1,400 full-time employees and more than 400 seasonal employees across multiple departments and bargaining units, with a focus on compensation-related practices and Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) compliance.
The selected vendor will review payroll administration, timekeeping, and related operational processes to assess process effectiveness, compliance alignment, accountability structures, and opportunities to improve consistency and internal controls. The scope includes examination of timekeeping procedures, payroll processes, payroll system configurations, automatic meal deduction practices, and related controls. The authority will provide access to payroll, human resources, and timekeeping systems, along with related data, audit logs, approvals, and supporting documentation as needed.
In addition to compliance and operational review, the engagement is intended to help inform future modernization opportunities involving Finance, Payroll, and Human Capital Management (HCM) or Human Resource Information System (HRIS) functions. The vendor is expected to deliver a recommendations report that includes prioritized action steps, risk rankings, and implementation considerations. Questions are due by August 3, 2026.
