• Ensure strict compliance with I-9, onboarding documentation, and labor regulations
• Work closely with operations leadership to control attendance, reduce absenteeism, and improve workforce reliability
• Handle conflict resolution on the floor, including real-time intervention when issues arise
• Maintain accurate HR records and ensure all employee files are audit-ready
• Coordinate with staffing agencies to ensure labor quality, discipline, and accountability
• Support payroll, time tracking, and benefits coordination
• Drive a no-excuses, performance-driven culture aligned with operational goals

• Strong knowledge of U.S. labor law, I-9 compliance, and employee documentation requirements
• Proven experience managing attendance issues, disciplinary actions, and terminations
• Comfortable working on the warehouse floor daily, not just in the office
• Ability to push back, make tough decisions, and handle confrontational situations professionally
• Experience working with staffing agencies / temporary labor models strongly preferred
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and responsive
• Payroll Regulations, Employee Laws, Workers Comp, Child Support, lawsuits experience

What We Expect from You

• You take ownership — you don’t wait to be told what to do
• You enforce rules consistently, not selectively
• You are firm, direct, and fair — not overly soft or passive
• You can handle high-pressure situations without losing control
• You understand that HR supports operations, not the other way around
