Payroll Clerk
Location: Sanford, FL | Onsite
Compensation: $22.00 – $26.00
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This Payroll Clerk role offers the opportunity to join one of the most successful and respected organizations in the Orlando area. The company is known for its strong reputation, family‑friendly culture, and deep commitment to serving the community through a mission‑driven business model.
As a Payroll Clerk, you’ll play a critical role in delivering accurate, compliant, and timely payroll for a large employee population while working in a supportive environment that values work‑life balance, training, and long‑term growth. Employees consistently highlight the organization’s flexibility, collaborative culture, and commitment to professional development.
This opportunity is ideal for a Payroll Clerk who enjoys in‑house, full‑cycle payroll, complex calculations, and working closely with departments to resolve payroll issues, without direct people management responsibilities.
Key Responsibilities of the Payroll Clerk
- Process full‑cycle, in‑house payroll for approximately 800 full‑time employees on a semi‑monthly basis, including payroll tax processing through EFTPS.
- Support employee payroll by calculating hours, auditing reports, and ensuring accurate module processing.
- Manage payroll deductions, garnishments, benefits, retirement plans, and payroll liabilities, including reconciliations.
- Prepare and audit overtime, compensatory time, class‑based calculations, and expired comp time payouts.
- Maintain payroll calendars, schedules, and documentation while partnering with departments to resolve payroll issues.
Qualifications for the Payroll Clerk
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Business, or a related field.
- 4+ years of recent, hands‑on payroll experience; higher‑education payroll experience strongly preferred.
- Strong proficiency in Microsoft Excel and Office; PeopleSoft experience is highly desirable.
