Payroll Specialist
Looking for a payroll opportunity where you can hit the ground running and make an immediate impact? This is a great opportunity for an experienced payroll professional to take ownership of multi-state payroll processing and play a key role during a critical transition period.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
• Opportunity to own payroll processing with minimal ramp-up time
• Multi-state payroll exposure across Illinois and Wisconsin employees
• Mix of weekly, bi-weekly, and semi-monthly payroll cycles for well-rounded experience
• Opportunity to assist with a future payroll system transition to Paylocity
• High-visibility role reporting directly to the Director of HR
• Flexible schedule options (8:00–5:00 or 8:00–4:30)
• Stable, professional environment with a strong focus on accuracy and confidentiality
Key Responsibilities for the Payroll Specialist:
• Process weekly, bi-weekly, and semi-monthly payrolls for hourly and salaried employees
• Manage payroll administration for approximately 80+ employees across multiple entities
• Administer payroll-related deductions including 401(k), FSA, and HSA plans
• Ensure accurate multi-state payroll processing and compliance
• Support payroll system transition initiatives and process improvements as needed
Qualifications for the Payroll Specialist:
• Strong experience with ADP Workforce Now (required)
• Experience processing multi-state payrolls
• Ability to maintain strict confidentiality with sensitive payroll information
• Paylocity experience is a plus
• Payroll experience preferred over educational requirements
