  • Support other areas of payroll accounting beyond the 401(k) function as needed

Requirements:

  • About 3 to 5 years of experience

  • Advanced Excel with large data sets; Pivot tables are a must, and the candidate should be comfortable with basic formulas

Employee pay is based on factors like relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, seniority, location, performance, union contract and business needs. This range may be modified in the future.

We offer comprehensive benefits including medical/dental/vision insurance, HSA, FSA, 401(k), and life, disability & ADD insurance to eligible employees. Salaried personnel receive paid time off. Hourly employees are not eligible for paid time off unless required by law. Hourly employees on a Service Contract Act project are eligible for paid sick leave.
