Summary
We’re looking for a detail-focused, deadline-driven Payroll Contractor with strong ADP experience to own end-to-end payroll processing and help keep everything compliant, accurate, and on time. You’ll handle complex payroll scenarios, troubleshoot issues, partner with HR/Finance, and improve processes.

What You’ll Do

• Process and audit multi-state payroll on a regular schedule (weekly/biweekly/semi-monthly), ensuring accuracy and on-time delivery
• Administer payroll in ADP (e.g., Workforce Now, Vantage, or similar ADP platform), including maintenance of employee records, earnings, deductions, and taxes
• Review timesheets/timekeeping data; validate approvals and resolve discrepancies
• Handle payroll adjustments: retro pay, bonuses, commissions, garnishments, terminations, and leave pay (FMLA/LOA)
• Ensure compliance with federal, state, and local wage/hour and tax regulations
• Reconcile payroll reports and general ledger entries; coordinate with Finance on journal entries and month-end close support
• Manage payroll tax activities: ADP tax filings support, notices resolution, W-2 administration, and year-end processes
• Serve as a go-to escalation point for payroll questions and issue resolution
• Support audits (internal/external), document controls, and maintain payroll SOPs
• Identify and implement process improvements, automation, and ADP best practices
• Partner with HR on onboarding/offboarding, benefits deductions, and employee data integrity

What You Bring

• 3–7 years of progressive payroll experience; senior-level processing and troubleshooting
• Hands-on experience with ADP payroll systems (Workforce Now strongly preferred – including Workforce Manager Time Functions; other ADP platforms acceptable)
• Experience processing payroll for multi-state populations and handling complex pay scenarios
• Strong knowledge of payroll compliance: wage/hour, taxes, garnishments, and recordkeeping
• Comfort with reconciliations and payroll reporting (ADP reports, Excel, GL coordination)
• High proficiency in Excel (lookups, pivots, filters, basic formulas; advanced skills a plus)
• Strong customer service mindset with the ability to explain payroll topics clearly
• Discreet with confidential information; excellent attention to detail and time management

Nice to Have

• ADP certifications or implementation experience
• Experience with timekeeping systems (ADP Time & Attendance, Kronos/UKG, etc.)
• Manufacturing/distribution payroll experience
• Experience with benefits deductions, HSA/FSA, 401(k) file coordination
• CPP (Certified Payroll Professional) or FPC

Education
High school diploma/GED required; Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, HR, or related field preferred.

Work Environment (customize)

• Hybrid to Janesville, WI office or remote
