• Administer employee benefits, bonus, and rewards programs and keep employees informed
• Lead performance management, including reviews, corrective action plans, and documentation
• Process bi-weekly payroll, support wage reviews and monthly payroll meetings, and help with related audits
• Handle workers' compensation, safety, and OSHA investigation and reporting
• Maintain the HRIS and filing systems, update the employee handbook, and ensure federal, state, and local employment-law compliance

What you bring:

• Hands-on HR and recruiting experience (required)
• Manufacturing or industrial workplace experience (strongly preferred)
• A 2-year degree in a related field, or 2+ years of related experience
• Familiarity with core HR concepts, practices, and procedures, plus strong judgment and integrity
• Strong organization, multi-tasking, and Microsoft Office skills
• Ability to work comfortably in both office and factory settings

Pay and benefits: $60,000–$85,000 per year, full benefits, and a bonus incentive. This is an exempt role reporting to the CEO.
