Payroll Analyst

PWS Employment

Job Description

Job Description

  • Are you a multi-state Payroll Analyst?
  • Have you handled 401K fiduciary responsibilities and plan administration?
  • Is UKG Pro your payroll "sweet spot?"
  • Can you navigate payroll taxes, FMLA, ADA, multi-state wage laws and HRIS systems without needing someone to hand you the playbook?

PWS Employment is recruiting a Senior Payroll & HR Compliance Analyst for an organization looking for someone who can bring expertise, accuracy and strong judgment to a critical Compensation & Benefits team.

This isn't simply a "process payroll" position.

We're looking for someone who understands what happens behind the numbers — taxes, compliance, leave administration, audits, reporting, systems and the regulations that have to be right every single time.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

You'll play a lead role across:

  • End-to-end payroll processing and accuracy
  • Federal, state and local payroll tax compliance
  • Payroll reconciliation and reporting with Finance/Accounting
  • Wage and hour compliance
  • 401K plan administration
  • FMLA, ADA and other statutory/company leave programs
  • Employee benefits administration within the HRIS
  • HRIS data integrity, reporting and analytics
  • Payroll and HR compliance audits
  • Process improvement and automation
  • SOP development and documentation
  • Employee and manager guidance on payroll and leave questions
  • Training and supporting junior team members

You'll also work across HR, Finance, Accounting, IT and outside vendors to solve issues and continually improve how payroll and HR processes operate.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

5+ years of experience in payroll, leave management and HR compliance, along with:

✓ Strong knowledge of payroll taxes and payroll compliance utilizing UKG Pro

✓ Hands-on experience with FMLA, ADA and leave administration

✓ Experience with HRIS and payroll systems

✓ Hands on 401K facilitation and administration

✓ Knowledge of wage-and-hour requirements

✓ Experience auditing payroll, benefits or HR data

✓ Excellent attention to detail and problem-solving skills

✓ Ability to communicate confidently with employees, managers and leadership

✓ Bachelor's degree in a related field

Payroll or HR compliance certification is a big plus.

WHY THIS ROLE?

Because the right person won't just be processing transactions.

You'll be the subject-matter expert helping ensure employees are paid correctly, leave programs are administered properly, systems are accurate and the organization stays compliant.

If you're a payroll professional who enjoys digging into the details, solving complex problems and making processes better, we'd like to talk with you.

Benefits:

  • 401(k)
  • 401(k) matching
  • Dental insurance
  • Health insurance
  • Life insurance
  • Paid time off
  • Professional development assistance
  • Retirement plan
  • Vision insurance
