• Proven experience in Canadian payroll and benefits administration.
• Strong knowledge of Canadian Employment Standards and HR compliance across provinces.
• Experience supporting end-to-end recruitment and onboarding processes.
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills; able to influence and support with clarity and compassion.
