About the role

If payroll accuracy, clean audits, and zero-drama compliance are your thing—and you can switch from W-2s to interview schedules without dropping a beat—this role is built for you. You’ll own day-to-day payroll operations, support end-to-end recruiting, and be a go-to resource for employees and managers.

What you’ll do

Payroll Administration

• Run weekly and bi-monthly payroll in Paycor (or similar HRIS) with precision—employee records, deductions, taxes, filings.

• Prepare payroll reports (quarterly, year-end, W-2s, ACA) and handle reconciliations/audits.

• Track legislative updates and partner with vendors (benefits, 401(k), etc.).

Recruiting & Onboarding

• Partner with hiring managers on full-cycle recruitment: postings, screening, interviews, offers.

• Support employer branding/sourcing; facilitate new hire orientation, I-9s, and file setup.

HR Admin & Employee Support

• Be first line for questions on payroll, benefits, policies, and HR processes.

• Administer benefit changes/enrollment; maintain accurate, confidential records.

Projects & Compliance

• Lead/support FMLA/leave management, system rollouts, policy updates, and process improvements.

• Coordinate compliance audits/reporting and liaise with staffing agencies.

What you’ll bring

• Bachelor’s in HR/Accounting or equivalent experience (preferred).

• 3–5 years HR + payroll experience; Paycor/Paycom or similar strongly preferred.

• Strong grasp of payroll, wage & hour, and HR compliance.

• Recruiting/onboarding experience (manufacturing or corporate environment).

• Organized, detail-obsessed, and able to juggle multiple priorities.

• Strong communication and relationship-building skills.

• Certifications (SHRM-CP/PHR or FPC/CPP) a plus.

• Microsoft Office proficiency; advanced Excel preferred.

Why you’ll love it

• Visible impact across the site and leadership exposure.

• Variety: from audits to offers to leave management—no rinse-and-repeat weeks.

• Competitive, comprehensive compensation & benefits.
