Key Responsibilities:

• Payroll & HR Data Management: Own and process HR updates impacting payroll, including thorough review, data validation, and pre-payroll cross-checking.
  
  
• Lifecycle Administration: Manage end-to-end payroll updates, including onboarding, manager changes, compensation increases, and offboarding/terminations.
  
  
• Complex Pay Impacts: Handle leave management impacts (understanding pay, tax, and withholding implications) and support seamless handoffs for severance processing.
  
  
• Process Improvement: Navigate manual tracking and limited system integrations, document processes as you learn them, and champion continuous operational improvements.
  
  
• HR Support: Assist with general HR coordination tasks, such as managing team inbox inquiries and cross-functional administrative duties.

Qualifications:

• System Expertise: Hands-on experience with UKG / UltiPro (Required / Top Priority); experience with SAP SuccessFactors (Strong Preference) and BambooHR (Nice to Have).
  
  
• Payroll Acumen: Demonstrated background in payroll processing-knowing how to run payroll, rather than just performing basic data entry.
  
  
• HR-to-Payroll Bridge: Solid understanding of how HR actions (leaves, status updates, pay adjustments) flow into payroll systems.
  
  
• Accuracy & Accountability: Highly detail-oriented with a strong sense of ownership, comfortable working in a process-heavy, semi-manual environment.
  
  
• Communication: Exceptional communication skills with the ability to ask questions, raise flags early, and collaborate smoothly across HR and Finance.

Why Apply?
This is a high-visibility, 90-day temp-to-hire opportunity with a growing organization that values problem-solvers who take ownership of their work. If you are ready to jump in, clean up processes, and secure a permanent home with a great company, apply today through LaSalle Network!
