Payroll Specialist

Robert Half

We're looking for a Payroll Specialist to join a growing team in a fast-paced environment. This is a high-impact role with visibility across HR and leadership, and an urgency to hire due to an upcoming retirement.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Process payroll for both union and non-union employees
  • Handle multi-state payroll, deductions, and compliance requirements
  • Review payroll reports, reconciliations, and filings
  • Partner with HR on employee changes and payroll-related items
  • Serve as a go-to for payroll questions and issue resolution

What they’re looking for:

  • 3+ years of payroll experience
  • Experience with payroll systems (Paylocity highly preferred)
  • Multi-state payroll experience required
  • Union payroll exposure is a plus
  • Strong Excel skills

Why consider it:

  • Stable environment with strong benefits (medical, dental, vision, 401k, PTO)
  • Opportunity to step into a key role with training from a retiring team member

If you or someone you know might be a fit, feel free to reach out. I can be reached directly at View email address on click.appcast.io
