• Maintain payroll records within the payroll system and assist with updates to employee information, pay changes, and related documentation.

• Use spreadsheets and payroll reports to audit transactions, research discrepancies, and resolve payroll issues efficiently.

• Partner with internal stakeholders to respond to payroll questions and ensure compliance with company policies and applicable regulations.

• Experience handling full-cycle payroll processing for both weekly and biweekly pay schedules.
• Background supporting payroll for employee populations ranging from approximately 100 to 500 employees.
