Job Description

  • Own the payroll process from start to finish while serving as a trusted resource for employees and leadership.

  • Work in a collaborative environment with approachable leaders, an open-door culture, and strong cross-functional teamwork.

  • Gain exposure to both payroll and benefits administration in a highly visible role that directly impacts the employee experience.


Key Responsibilities

  • Ensure payroll accuracy and compliance with federal, state, and local regulations.

  • Reconcile payroll each cycle and partner with Accounting on general ledger entries, reporting, and audits.

  • Manage payroll-related onboarding, terminations, and employee maintenance within HRIS and payroll systems.

  • Support year-end payroll activities, including W-2 processing and payroll tax reporting.

  • Administer employee benefit programs and serve as the primary point of contact for payroll and benefits-related questions.


Qualifications



  • 2+ years of payroll processing experience.

  • Experience with benefits administration, payroll taxes, garnishments, or multi-state payroll preferred.

  • Strong Excel skills and proficiency with payroll and HRIS systems.

  • Exceptional attention to detail, accuracy, and confidentiality.
