Job Description



Senior Payroll Analyst


Salary: $75,000 - $95,000

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:


• Join a high-volume payroll environment supporting approximately 4,000 employees across multiple states
• Gain exposure to complex payroll operations involving hourly, salaried, and union-represented employees
• Work with SAP HCM/ECP while contributing to system enhancements and process automation initiatives
• Play a key role in payroll integrations tied to acquisitions and organizational growth
• Partner directly with HR, Finance, Labor Relations, Compliance, and executive leadership
• Opportunity to take greater ownership of payroll tax and compliance functions as capabilities are brought in-house
• Lead process improvement projects that create measurable operational impact
• Enjoy strong visibility and influence in a growing organization undergoing transformation
• Collaborative environment with a senior-level team focused on continuous improvement
• Hybrid schedule with 3 days onsite and payroll team Fridays off

Key Responsibilities for the Senior Payroll Analyst:


• Process full-cycle payroll for hourly, salaried, and union employees across multiple states
• Ensure compliance with payroll tax regulations, wage and hour laws, garnishments, and wage orders
• Reconcile payroll results, investigate discrepancies, and resolve payroll issues
• Support SAP HCM/ECP administration, vendor coordination, and payroll system enhancements
• Assist with payroll integrations and implementations related to M&A activity
• Partner with HR, Labor Relations, and Finance on union payroll, pay rules, liabilities, and reporting

Qualifications for the Senior Payroll Analyst:


• 5+ years of multi-state payroll experience in a high-volume environment
• Experience processing large hourly employee populations, ideally 500+ employees
• SAP HCM, SAP ECP, ADP, UKG, Paylocity, or similar enterprise payroll system experience
• Payroll compliance expertise including taxation, garnishments, wage orders, and union payroll preferred
