Ticket Management and Escalation

  • Accurately log, categorize, prioritize, assign, and track cases in HR ServiceNow.
  • Assess the severity and complexity of requests and route cases appropriately.
  • Identify issues requiring additional expertise and escalate them to Tier 2 teams or subject matter experts.
  • Monitor case status and follow up as needed to support timely resolution within established service-level agreements.
  • Maintain accurate case documentation throughout the resolution process.

Knowledge Management and Process Support

  • Use HR knowledge base articles and standard operating procedures to research and resolve cases.
  • Monitor knowledge articles for accuracy and alignment with current HR and Payroll procedures.
  • Partner with subject matter experts to recommend and support updates to knowledge articles.
  • Follow established policies, procedures, quality standards, and service-level requirements.
  • Support the anticipated increase in employee inquiries following the Workday and HR ServiceNow go-live.

Required Qualifications

  • Experience supporting HR ServiceNow, an HR ticketing platform, or a similar case management system.
  • Prior Workday support or user experience.
  • Strong written and email communication skills.
  • Ability to provide professional, customer-focused service through written channels.
  • Ability to work full-time on a contract assignment lasting six months or longer.
  • Ability to work staggered hours within the 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. EST service window, including potential evening support.
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to accurately document and manage multiple cases.
  • Ability to follow established procedures while exercising sound judgment when prioritizing and escalating requests.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in an HR shared services, HR service center, employee support, Payroll, or HR operations environment.
  • Familiarity with HR policies, Payroll, timekeeping, leave, PTO, benefits, and employee self-service processes.
  • Experience supporting a Workday or HR systems implementation or go-live.
  • Experience working with knowledge bases, standard operating procedures, and service-level agreements.

Work Schedule

The HR Service Center operates from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. EST. This role will not cover the entire service window. Assigned hours may fluctuate based on business needs and employee support volume following the Workday and HR ServiceNow go-live.

The expected schedule is 40 hours per week, with potential evening hours.
