Payroll Specialist

We are currently seeking a skilled and detail-oriented Payroll Specialist to join our clients team. In this role, you will be responsible for processing payroll for approximately 1,000 employees on a biweekly basis. You will manage the entire payroll workflow to ensure all transactions are processed accurately and on time. Key responsibilities include reconciling payroll prior to transmission, validating reports, and ensuring garnishment calculations are processed in compliance with applicable regulations. This role involves generating standard payroll reports for staffing vendors, processing manual checks, and entering payroll-related data and changes—such as new hires, salary adjustments, and benefit enrollments—into both the UKG HRIS and ADP systems. You will be expected to create and reconcile general ledger entries for each payroll cycle and generate GL reports in ADP. In addition, you’ll handle post-payroll responsibilities such as funding the 401(k) plan with Fidelity and managing weekly timecard reports for temporary staff across three agencies, reconciling invoices accordingly.
