- Ensure compliance with Canadian and US payroll requirements, including provincial/state employment standards, CRA and IRS withholding and remittances, workers' compensation, and year-end T4 and W-2 filings
- Maintain employee pay data and ADP setup (earnings codes, deductions, benefits), and answer employee payroll questions
- Set up payroll for new provinces and states as Jetson enters new markets, and find ways to automate and improve payroll processes as we grow
What You Bring:- 5+ years of payroll experience, ideally across both Canada and the US
- A PCP/CPM (Canada) or CPP (US) designation is an asset
