Human Resources Generalist - Payroll/Recruitment (Full Time)

At Frontier Cooperative, we believe agriculture is more than a business, it's a way of life. As an agricultural leader serving Nebraska's farming communities, we provide a comprehensive range of grain, agronomy, feed, and energy products and services. But what sets us apart is how we do it: with integrity, with quality, and with a deep commitment to the communities we're proud to call home. We're looking for people who share those values and want to grow with us.

What you'll do :
Talent Acquisition

Serve as a secondary point of contact for managers and employees, providing coverage and continuity when the VP of HR is unavailable.
Conduct rotating site visits to build relationships, surface concerns early, and maintain visibility across all supported locations.
Ensure consistent application of company policy and compliance with federal and Nebraska employment law across every site.

Review timekeeping data, resolve discrepancies, and process new hire, termination, and pay-change entries.
