Payroll Specialist

Step into a high-visibility payroll role where your expertise directly supports a large, established workforce. This is a great opportunity to leverage your experience in a stable, employee-focused manufacturing environment.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Stable, privately held company with strong financial performance
  • Employee-focused culture with events and strong team engagement
  • High-visibility role supporting a large workforce (500 employees)
  • Opportunity to own payroll processes across hourly and salaried employees
  • Collaborative environment partnering closely with HR and leadership
  • Exposure to compliance, tax reporting, and year-end payroll processes

Key Responsibilities For The Payroll Specialist

  • Process weekly and biweekly payroll for hourly and salaried employees
  • Manage payroll compliance, tax reporting, and reconciliations
  • Administer payroll-related programs including benefits, 401(k), and PTO
  • Resolve payroll discrepancies in partnership with HR, managers, and vendors
  • Support year-end payroll processing and reporting

Qualifications For The Payroll Specialist

  • 5 years of full-cycle payroll experience
  • Experience with ADP Workforce Now and/or UKG
  • Experience processing payroll for 500 employees
  • Strong understanding of payroll compliance and reporting
