Payroll Specialist

Salary : $75,000 - $95,000

A growing organization is seeking a detail-oriented Payroll Specialist to take full ownership of payroll operations and play a key role in supporting HR initiatives across the company. This Payroll Specialist will handle all aspects of payroll processing-including data accuracy, compliance, reporting, and employee support-ensuring precision, confidentiality, and timeliness in every cycle. With strong cross-functional exposure, the Payroll Specialist will partner closely with HR and Accounting to streamline processes and deliver a best-in-class employee experience.

Why This Payroll Specialist Opportunity Stands Out :

  • Highly visible Payroll Specialist role with direct collaboration across HR, Accounting, and operations
  • Opportunity to take ownership of payroll processes while contributing to broader HR initiatives
  • Supportive, team-focused environment that values clear communication and continuous improvement
  • Stable organization with strong leadership and room for long-term professional growth
  • Mix of payroll processing, employee interaction, and administrative HR responsibilities for a dynamic workload

Key Responsibilities for the Payroll Specialist :

  • Accurately process and maintain all payroll data-including rates, deductions, bonuses, and time-off entries-as the Payroll Specialist
  • Ensure proper application of payroll deductions for taxes, benefits, and company contributions
  • Provide timely reports to Accounting to support accurate general ledger entries
  • Address employee payroll questions with professionalism, confidentiality, and prompt follow-up
  • As the Payroll Specialist, assist with onboarding, new hire documentation, and benefits enrollment activities
  • Maintain employee records, update HR systems (including Paylocity), and monitor attendance data
  • Support annual open enrollment, workers' compensation claims, and OSHA recordkeeping requirements
  • Contribute to HR initiatives such as policy updates, employee handbooks, and company event coordination
  • Help ensure payroll practices comply with federal, state, and internal standards, consistent with the expectations of an effective Payroll Specialist
  • Ideal Background for the Payroll Specialist :

  • Associate's degree or 5+ years of hands-on payroll processing experience
  • Bilingual in Spanish is a strong plus
  • Excellent organization, attention to detail, and commitment to confidentiality
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills with a diverse workforce
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office; Paylocity experience preferred
  • Ability to work independently, manage sensitive information, and occasionally support needs outside regular business hours
  • Candidates with experience in public accounting or public-accounting-style environments are highly valued, as those backgrounds often bring disciplined processes, documentation rigor, and strong compliance awareness to the Payroll Specialist role
  • If you're a Payroll Specialist seeking a role that blends ownership, visibility, and meaningful HR impact, this opportunity offers a rewarding next step.
