Payroll Benefits Specialist

Payroll & Benefits Specialist

Glens Falls, NY | Full-Time | Onsite | Salary: $55,000 - $60,000

Do you thrive in fast-paced payroll environments where every day brings variety, problem-solving, and meaningful employee interaction?

A well-established, highly respected employer in the Glens Falls region is seeking a Payroll & Benefits Specialist to join its collaborative HR team supporting 600+ employees in a dynamic 24/7 operation.

This is not a “same payroll every week” environment — it’s an opportunity for someone who enjoys digging into timecards, solving payroll puzzles, partnering with leaders, and helping employees navigate payroll and benefits questions with confidence and professionalism.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Support weekly payroll processing for 600+ employees (hourly + salaried)
• Review timecards, investigate discrepancies, correct punches, and coordinate with supervisors/managers
• Help administer benefits programs including enrollments, deductions, HSA/FSA/401(k), and employee changes
• Maintain accurate records, reporting, and payroll documentation
• Provide responsive employee support in a people-focused, relationship-driven culture

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out:

• Strong onboarding, training materials, and hands-on support from an experienced manager
• Small, collaborative HR team with strong internal partnerships
• Exposure to payroll, benefits, employee relations, HR, and potential long-term career growth
• Opportunity to broaden your HR or finance path based on your interests
• Stable organization with long-tenured employees and a strong team culture

What We’re Looking For:

• Payroll experience in a high-volume, fast-moving environment
• Comfort handling hourly payroll, timecards, variable schedules, and payroll follow-up/investigation
• Strong organizational skills and ability to multitask effectively
• Solid computer and communication skills
• ADP experience helpful but not required
• Manufacturing, retail, healthcare, staffing, logistics, or other complex/24/7 payroll environments are highly transferable

You don’t need to know every aspect of benefits administration coming in — payroll strength, learning agility, and the ability to stay organized under pressure are what matter most.
