Human Resources Generalist - $65,000 Benefits | Fort Lauderdale, FL 33309

We’re looking for a Bilingual HR Generalist to join our team!

Do you speak Spanish fluently and want to work in a role where you can make a real impact on a diverse workforce? If you’re passionate about supporting employees, resolving issues, and making HR more than just a desk job, this is the role for you.

At Encompass, 70% of our workforce speaks Spanish, and we’re looking for a bilingual HR Generalist to ensure we meet their needs, facilitate smooth communication, and support our diverse teams. This is an exciting opportunity to develop your HR career in a unionized environment while making a difference in a growing company.

The Role

As our Human Resources Generalist, you’ll be directly involved in shaping the workplace experience for our teams. You’ll be the go-to HR contact for both employees and leaders, working in a collaborative environment to resolve workplace challenges, manage recruitment and onboarding, and ensure compliance with HR policies and union agreements. You’ll be engaged in various HR functions, including recruitment, employee relations, payroll adjustments, and union communications—all while communicating effectively with our Spanish-speaking workforce.

Key Responsibilities

Here’s where you’ll make an impact:

• Recruitment & Onboarding: Manage the recruitment and onboarding process, ensuring Spanish-speaking employees receive the proper support and resources to get started and succeed.
• Employee Relations: Handle employee relations cases and support conflict resolution with a focus on fostering a positive, bilingual work environment.
• Union Communications: Manage internal postings and union communications, ensuring clarity in both English and Spanish.
• HR Systems & Compliance: Maintain employee files, HR systems (ADP, JazzHR), and ensure compliance with labor laws, while assisting with payroll checks and adjustments.
• Investigation & Conflict Resolution: Use your bilingual skills to resolve employee concerns, supporting HR investigations and solutions that help foster a positive, compliant workplace.
