Payroll Specialist

CFS
Fresno, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 4/24/2026 CLOSED ON 4/27/2026

What are the responsibilities and job description for the Payroll Specialist position at CFS?

Location: Fresno, CA (Onsite)

Salary: $24 – $34/hour DOE

Join an organization where your work supports a large, mission-driven operation serving communities throughout the Central Valley. Our client is a long-established nonprofit organization with extensive regional reach, strong leadership tenure, and a people-first culture. This is a team where payroll accuracy, employee support, and consistency are highly valued.

This is more than a traditional payroll role. You’ll play a key part in processing high-volume payroll, supporting benefits administration, and helping ensure employees across multiple locations are paid accurately and on time.

The Opportunity

As a Payroll Specialist, you’ll manage payroll operations for a large employee population while partnering with finance and HR leadership. This role offers visibility, stability, and the opportunity to contribute within a structured organization.

What You’ll Do

  • Process bi-weekly payroll for a multi-location workforce of 1,500 employees
  • Manage payroll data, deductions, garnishments, and employee changes
  • Support benefits reconciliation and payroll-related reporting
  • Assist with annual audits and payroll compliance documentation
  • Supervise one direct report and partner with internal departments as needed

What We’re Looking For

  • 3 years of payroll experience in a high-volume environment
  • Experience with ADP Workforce Now or similar payroll systems preferred
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to meet strict deadlines
  • Accounting or nonprofit experience is a plus

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Stable organization with long-tenured leadership
  • Strong medical benefits and employer-paid pension plan
  • High-impact role supporting a large workforce
  • Opportunity to work closely with finance and HR leadership
  • Meaningful work within a mission-focused environment

If you’re looking for a role where you can own payroll operations, support employees, and contribute to a respected organization, this is a strong next step.

Timing is everything. Whether you’re actively exploring or open to the right opportunity, we’d welcome the chance to connect. Many of our roles are not posted publicly—reach out to learn more.
