Payroll Administrator

Ganahl Lumber
Anaheim, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 4/3/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/1/2026
PAYROLL ADMINISTRATOR

Location: Anaheim, CA

Employment Type: Full-Time

Position Overview

We are seeking a detail-driven, highly accountable Payroll Administrator to manage and execute our payroll operations with precision. This role is responsible for ensuring employees are paid accurately and on time while maintaining strict compliance with federal, state, and local regulations.

This is not an entry-level position. We are looking for someone who understands payroll end-to-end. We’re not looking for someone to “learn payroll.” We’re hiring someone who already knows how to run it—clean, accurate, and on time. If that’s you, apply now.

Compensation

Full-time, stable schedule

Key Responsibilities

  • Process weekly payroll for a multi-location workforce
  • Ensure accuracy of hours worked, overtime, bonuses, and deductions
  • Maintain compliance with federal, state (including California), and local wage laws
  • Audit payroll data to identify and correct discrepancies before final processing
  • Administer garnishments, levies, and benefit deductions
  • Reconcile payroll reports and general ledger entries
  • Coordinate with HR on new hires, terminations, pay changes, and leave of absence impacts
  • Respond to employee payroll inquiries with professionalism and urgency
  • Maintain payroll records in accordance with company policy and legal requirements
  • Support audits and reporting requirements as needed

Required Qualifications

  • 3 years of full-cycle payroll processing experience
  • Strong understanding of California wage and hour laws (highly preferred)
  • Experience with payroll systems (ADP, Paychex, or similar platforms)
  • High level of accuracy and attention to detail
  • Ability to handle confidential information with discretion
  • Strong organizational and time management skills
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel (basic formulas, data review, reporting)

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience processing payroll for multi-location or high-volume environments
  • Knowledge of prevailing wage, union payroll, or certified payroll reporting
  • HRIS experience is a plus

What We’re Looking For

  • Someone who takes ownership of payroll—not just processes it
  • A professional who catches errors before they become problems
  • A steady, reliable operator who can meet deadlines without excuses
  • Strong communicator who can work across HR, Finance, and Operations

Why Join Us

  • Stable, growing organization with long-term opportunity
  • Team-oriented environment with clear expectations
  • Opportunity to take ownership of a critical business function
