Creative Financial Staffing

Payroll Administrator

Own the end-to-end payroll process in a high-impact role where your accuracy and expertise directly support employees and business operations. This is a great opportunity to leverage your ADP Workforce Now experience in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

  • Full ownership of the payroll function — high visibility and impact
  • Collaborative, team-oriented culture with supportive leadership
  • Opportunity to deepen expertise in complex, multi-department payroll
  • Exposure to large-scale payroll operations across multiple cost centers
  • Stable environment with established processes and systems
  • Direct partnership with HR and Finance teams
  • Opportunity to enhance process efficiency and accuracy
  • Hands-on experience with ADP Workforce Now in a high-volume setting

Key Responsibilities for the Payroll Administrator:

  • Process full-cycle weekly payroll for multiple departments
  • Manage deductions, benefits, garnishments, and payroll adjustments
  • Handle new hires, terminations, and manual payroll entries
  • Ensure payroll accuracy across cost centers and job codes
  • Partner with HR and Finance on payroll-related tasks

Qualifications for the Payroll Administrator:

  • Strong full-cycle, in-house payroll experience
  • Experience with ADP Workforce Now
  • Experience working with large ERP payroll systems
  • Union payroll experience preferred
