HR & Payroll Coordinator

Our client is looking for a detail-oriented, proactive HR & Payroll Coordinator to join their team on a contract-to-hire basis!


Sitting on the HR team and partnering closely with Finance and Payroll, you will play a critical role in ensuring that all HR-driven changes are accurately captured and reflected in payroll. If you thrive in a hands-on environment where you can build structure, improve manual processes, and make an immediate impact, this is the opportunity for you.



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.

Key Details

• Compensation: $30.00/hr

• Benefits: Our consultants are eligible to enroll in benefits such as medical, dental, and vision.

• Location: Chicago, IL

• Work Model: 2 days on-site (typically Tues/Thurs)

• Employment Type: Contract-to-Hire

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!
