Payroll Specialist
Salary: $75,000 - $95,000 A growing organization is seeking a detail-oriented Payroll Specialist to take full ownership of payroll operations and play a key role in supporting HR initiatives across the company. This Payroll Specialist will handle all aspects of payroll processing-including data accuracy, compliance, reporting, and employee support-ensuring precision, confidentiality, and timeliness in every cycle. With strong cross-functional exposure, the Payroll Specialist will partner closely with HR and Accounting to streamline processes and deliver a best-in-class employee experience. Why This Payroll Specialist Opportunity Stands Out: - Highly visible Payroll Specialist role with direct collaboration across HR, Accounting, and operations
- Opportunity to take ownership of payroll processes while contributing to broader HR initiatives
- Supportive, team-focused environment that values clear communication and continuous improvement
- Stable organization with strong leadership and room for long-term professional growth
- Mix of payroll processing, employee interaction, and administrative HR responsibilities for a dynamic workload Key Responsibilities for the Payroll Specialist: - Accurately process and maintain all payroll data-including rates, deductions, bonuses, and time-off entries-as the Payroll Specialist
- Ensure proper application of payroll deductions for taxes, benefits, and company contributions
- Provide timely reports to Accounting to support accurate general ledger entries
- Address employee payroll questions with professionalism, confidentiality, and prompt follow-up
- As the Payroll Specialist, assist with onboarding, new hire documentation, and benefits enrollment activities
- Maintain employee records, update HR systems (including Paylocity), and monitor attendance data
- Support annual open enrollment, workers' compensation claims, and OSHA recordkeeping requirements
- Contribute to HR initiatives such as policy updates, employee handbooks, and company event coordination
- Help ensure payroll practices comply with federal, state, and internal standards, consistent with the expectations of an effective Payroll Specialist Ideal Background for the Payroll Specialist: - Associate's degree or 5+ years of hands-on payroll processing experience
- Bilingual in Spanish is a strong plus
- Excellent organization, attention to detail, and commitment to confidentiality
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills with a diverse workforce
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office; Paylocity experience preferred
- Ability to work independently, manage sensitive information, and occasionally support needs outside regular business hours
- Candidates with experience in public accounting or public-accounting-style environments are highly valued, as those backgrounds often bring disciplined processes, documentation rigor, and strong compliance awareness to the Payroll Specialist role If you're a Payroll Specialist seeking a role that blends ownership, visibility, and meaningful HR impact, this opportunity offers a rewarding next step. $75,000 - $95,000
