Role Snapshot
Hands-on, analytics‑driven payroll role where subject‑matter expertise, data accuracy, and process improvement intersect. You’ll blend technical precision with real payroll fluency to support a high‑volume, multi‑state workforce during a system overhaul. If you thrive in detail, love solving payroll puzzles, and want to grow with a modernized payroll function, this is your lane.
What You’ll Do
- Payroll SME & Escalation Support Handle complex payroll questions involving garnishments, wage and hour rules, multi‑state tax, and CBA‑driven pay. Explain not just what the system calculated — but why .
- In‑Cycle & Post‑Cycle Analysis Review gross‑to‑net, deductions, exception reports, and headcount changes. Reconcile weekly results, prepare summary reports, and support off‑cycle and retro pay adjustments.
- Data Integrity & Validation Run daily cross‑system checks across integrated HR/payroll platforms. Identify and resolve dropped, duplicated, or misaligned records before each cycle.

What You Bring
- Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Business, or related field (or equivalent experience)
- 2–6 years of payroll analyst experience; construction experience a plus
- Strong knowledge of payroll compliance, garnishments, wage/hour law, multi‑state tax, and CBA pay rules
- Advanced Excel + Microsoft 365 skills
- Experience building checklists, logs, and SOPs; strong documentation habits
- Familiarity with union payroll and fringe reporting preferred
- Interest in AI‑assisted tools and automation for payroll workflows
