Job Description

Job Description

We are looking for a Payroll Specialist to support daily payroll and human resources operations for a company based in Hopkins, Minnesota. This Long-term Contract position will focus heavily on end-to-end payroll processing, including careful review of timekeeping data, prevailing wage documentation, and benefit-related follow-up. The role will also provide broad HR coverage by assisting with employee onboarding, offboarding, compliance activities, and routine employee support while maintaining continuity across day-to-day operations.

Responsibilities:
• Manage full-cycle bi-weekly payroll for approximately 105 W-2 employees, ensuring timely and accurate processing from time review through final submission.
• Validate employee hours using separate timekeeping records, including clock data and GPS-based jobsite verification, and reconcile information before it is entered into the payroll platform.
• Administer payroll tasks related to prevailing wage assignments, including required state or county documentation and detailed review of wage compliance information.
• Audit payroll entries transferred into Paylocity, resolve discrepancies, and confirm all earnings, deductions, and classifications are correct prior to completion.
• Complete post-payroll activities such as 401(k) funding coordination and other follow-up items tied to each payroll cycle.
• Provide day-to-day human resources support across recruiting, new employee onboarding, employee separations, disciplinary documentation, and general employee relations needs.
• Guide employees through benefit offerings and orientation materials, directing complex coverage questions to the appropriate benefit support resources when needed.
• Maintain HR compliance efforts by assisting with projects such as annual I-9 reviews, job description updates, and driver qualification file audits.
• Support ongoing operational continuity during a contract coverage period by keeping payroll and HR processes organized, responsive, and consistent.
