Job description:

Company Overview

Slater Schulman LLP is a growing, national law firm with our head office located in Melville, NY. With over 40 years of combined experience advocating for clients in complex, high-stakes litigation, we pride ourselves on a supportive, high-integrity workplace. We are seeking a detail-oriented Payroll Specialist to own our payroll administration and ensure seamless, accurate compensation for our expanding multi-state team.

Position Overview

You will manage all aspects of payroll administration, time tracking, tax compliance, and payroll-related benefits reporting. This role is ideal for an independent problem-solver who thrives in a dynamic environment and brings deep technical knowledge of multi-state payroll regulations.

  • Requirement: 3–5 years of recent, dedicated multi-state payroll processing experience.

Key Responsibilities

Payroll Processing & Administration

  • Run end-to-end payroll cycles for hourly, salaried, and partner-track employees.
  • Perform thorough pre-submission audits on payroll registers, earnings, deductions, and tax withholding.
  • Oversee time and attendance tracking, monitoring overtime, leaves, and PTO accruals.

Tax & Compliance

  • Stay current on Federal, New York State, and local payroll regulations.
  • Ensure compliance regarding worker classification, statutory benefits, and overtime exemptions.
  • Lead year-end processes, including W-2 reconciliation, verification, and distribution.

Systems & Record Keeping

  • Maintain absolute data integrity within our primary HRIS/payroll platform.
  • Create custom reports, GL (General Ledger) exports, and spreadsheets for finance and leadership.
  • Securely manage confidential files in line with privacy laws and firm policy.

Employee Support & Collaboration

  • Act as the go-to resource for employee inquiries regarding paychecks, direct deposit, and deductions.
  • Partner with HR and finance to reconcile benefits deductions, retirement plans, and insurance premiums.

Qualifications

  • Experience: 3–5 years of direct payroll processing experience (law firm or professional services background preferred).
  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Software Skills: Hands-on experience with Paychex, ADP, or similar payroll software. Advanced Microsoft Excel skills (Pivot Tables, VLOOKUPs) are a must.
  • Core Traits: Exceptional attention to detail, uncompromised integrity with confidential data, and strong analytical skills.

Benefits:

  • 401(k) matching
  • Dental insurance
  • Health insurance
  • Life insurance
  • Paid time off
  • Vision insurance
