• Execute routine payroll processing activities for regular and off-cycle payrolls in accordance with established timelines and internal controls.
• Follow documented payroll procedures, checklists, and approval workflows to ensure consistency, accuracy, and regulatory compliance.
• Maintain well-organized payroll documentation and supporting records; provide requested data and explanations to internal stakeholders and external partners as needed.
• Serve as a contact for employee payroll inquiries, discrepancies, and issue resolution, delivering professional, responsive, and confidential service.
• Partner closely with the People & Culture team to coordinate payroll activities related to new hires, terminations, benefit changes, and leave administration.
• Maintain strict confidentiality of payroll, compensation, and employee information at all times, in compliance with company policies and data privacy requirements.

YOUR EXPERIENCE.

The successful candidate will have:

• 3-5 years of payroll experience in a multi-state environment.
• Strong working knowledge of payroll regulations, wage and hour laws, and payroll best practices.
• Hands-on experience with payroll systems; UKG experience strongly preferred.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, including reconciliations, reporting, and data analysis.
• Experience preparing payroll reports and supporting documentation for review and reporting purposes.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and meet strict payroll deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
