System Requirements, Configuration & Testing
  • Lead cross-functional projects with HRIS, Payroll Operations, IT, Finance, Legal, and external vendors to define enterprise system requirements that enable compliant, scalable pay calculations for hourly and salaried employees.
  • Serve as the compliance development authority for configuration, testing, validation, and implementation of payroll system updates (e.g., SAP, Workday, UKG/ADP), ensuring solutions meet regulatory intent and are auditable at scale.
  • Establish and lead enterprise control standards for system logic and timekeeping/payroll settings to ensure they align with FLSA and state requirements, especially California. Include detailed decision records, testing proof, and continuous monitoring.
Audit & Compliance Assurance
  • Develop and lead an enterprise audit program across timekeeping, payroll transactions, meal/rest break compliance, wage statements, garnishments, and taxation practices; define audit cadence, approach, and reporting standards.
  • Direct complex investigations by assessing root causes, quantifying risk/exposure, and sponsoring corrective-action plans with accountable owners; track remediation through closure and validate sustained efficiency.
  • Provide strategic support for internal controls, SOX compliance, and external/internal audit engagements, including executive summaries and regulator/auditor-ready documentation.
Training, Communication & Collaborator Education
  • Develop and coordinate an enterprise compliance education plan (curriculum, cadence, and efficiency measures) for HR, managers, supervisors, and payroll staff on FLSA, California wage and hour regulations, and compliant timekeeping practices.
  • Communicate to executives about compliance standing, new risk areas, system change consequences, and process optimizations; guide prioritization and allocation of resources across the organization.
Process Improvement & Risk Mitigation
  • Lead enterprise process-improvement initiatives to reduce compliance risk, improve accuracy, and increase automation; define success metrics (e.g., error rate reduction, audit findings closure time) and monitor outcomes.
  • Serve as a strategic change leader for new legislation, policies, and system upgrades. This includes crafting roadmaps, advising on tradeoffs, and ensuring balanced implementation by developing governance and controls.
Additional Responsibilities
  • Provide functional leadership to the Payroll team by mentoring, setting standards, and supporting critical issues. Ensure compliance oversight continues during busy times or unexpected staff shortages. Help build broader skills across the team.

  • Strong analytical and risk-assessment skills, including crafting audit methodologies, interpreting regulatory requirements, quantifying exposure, and presenting findings and recommendations to senior leaders.
  • Expertise in major payroll/timekeeping platforms (Workday, SAP, ADP, Kronos/UKG, etc.), involving managing requirements, controls, testing documentation, and validation for compliance-related modifications.
  • Excellent communication and influence skills; ability to translate complex regulations into business decisions, build consensus among senior collaborators, and sustain adoption through governance and training.
Preferred
  • CPP or FPC certification.
  • Experience establishing compliance governance (standards, controls, documentation) and partnering with Internal Audit, Legal, and Finance on audit readiness and remediation.
  • Experience in industries with high volume hourly workforces (manufacturing, distribution, media, aerospace).
