  • Send paystubs or W2 forms to employees.
  • Investigate and resolve issues such as missing holiday pay.
  • Prepare payroll, ensuring accuracy and compliance.
  • Handle Payroll 101 responsibilities promptly.

Essential Skills

  • Expertise in payroll processing and payroll tax.
  • Experience with deductions and payroll accounting.
  • Proficiency in Workday ERP and data entry.
