Pay: $40 - $45/hr

Benefits: Medical, dental, vision, 401k


Position Overview

Our client is seeking a highly detail-oriented and experienced Payroll Processor to oversee complex, multi-state payroll operations for approximately 2,800 employees. This role will manage approximately 30 payroll groups, including weekly and semi-monthly populations, with a workforce that is approximately 75% hourly and 25% salaried.

The ideal candidate is a self-starter who can work independently in a fast-paced environment, has strong payroll tax compliance expertise, and is comfortable managing complex payroll structures, including union and multi-state populations.

This is an exciting opportunity for a payroll professional who wants to play an active role in a major payroll technology transformation. The organization currently uses ADP Workforce Now and plans to transition to SAP Employee Central Payroll (ECP) in Q2 2027. This role will have the opportunity to participate in implementation and transition activities related to the new system.


Key Responsibilities

  • Manage and oversee payroll processing for approximately 2,800 employees across 30 payroll groups.
  • Ensure accurate and timely processing of weekly and semi-monthly payrolls.
  • Support payroll operations for a predominantly hourly workforce across multiple states.
  • Manage complex multi-state payroll requirements, including California and Pennsylvania.
  • Ensure compliance with federal, state, and local payroll tax regulations.
  • Support payroll tax filings, reconciliations, audits, and compliance activities.
  • Administer payroll for employees covered by approximately 30 union agreements.
  • Perform detailed payroll reporting, analysis, and reconciliations using Microsoft Excel.
  • Leverage Excel functions including PivotTables and Lookups to analyze and report payroll data.
  • Identify and resolve payroll discrepancies and proactively address potential issues.
  • Partner with HR, payroll, and other shared services teams to ensure accurate employee data and payroll processing.
  • Participate in the transition from ADP Workforce Now to SAP ECP, including implementation, testing, process development, and related project activities.
  • Help maintain accurate payroll processes and documentation during the system transition.
  • Support timekeeping processes; experience with UKG is a plus.
  • Provide hands-on support during periods of high payroll volume and business activity, including occasional overtime as needed.
  • Maintain a high level of confidentiality and accuracy when handling sensitive payroll information.
