We need a payroll specialist to make sure everyone gets paid correctly and on time, every single pay period, no exceptions. You'll process payroll runs, handle tax filings, and be the go-to person when someone has a question about their paycheck. Accuracy and confidentiality matter enormously in this role, since a payroll mistake affects someone's rent check, not just a line in a spreadsheet.
What you'll do
- Process bi-weekly or semi-monthly payroll accurately and on schedule
- Maintain payroll records and ensure compliance with state and federal tax law
- Handle employee questions regarding pay, deductions, and tax withholding
- Reconcile payroll data with benefits and general ledger accounts
- Process new hires, terminations, and payroll changes in Workday
- Support year-end tax filings including W-2 and 1099 preparation
What we're looking for
- 3+ years of hands-on payroll processing experience
- Working knowledge of multi-state payroll tax compliance
- Experience with Workday or a similar payroll/HRIS platform
- High attention to detail and comfort with confidential information
- Strong organizational skills to manage recurring deadlines
- Clear communicator when explaining payroll issues to employees
Nice to have
- CPP (Certified Payroll Professional) certification
- Experience supporting international or contractor payroll
- Familiarity with benefits administration processes
