Job description

If getting every detail right and ensuring people are paid accurately and on time matters to you, this is the role you have been looking for.

Slash Staffing is seeking a dedicated, process-driven Payroll Specialist to manage end-to-end payroll operations in a permanent, full-time, fully remote role based in the Philippines. Working directly inside UKG / Pay Pro, you will take ownership of the gross-to-net cycle, resolve payroll queries, and maintain clean, auditable records. This is a hands-on, precision-oriented payroll role focused on operational rigor, statutory compliance, and reliable execution rather than high-level HR strategy.

Key Responsibilities

• Execute accurate, timely, full-cycle payroll runs using UKG / Pay Pro, including standard cycles, off-cycle payments, retro pay, and manual adjustments.
• Audit and reconcile timesheets, work hours, wage rates, deductions, and approval workflows prior to finalizing each pay period.
• Manage the dedicated payroll inbox, providing clear, helpful, and professional answers to employee pay inquiries and resolving discrepancies quickly.
• Uphold strict payroll compliance, internal controls, and accurate recordkeeping in accordance with wage, hour, and payroll tax regulations.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with internal HR and accounting teams to keep employee data current and support standard reconciliations.

Required Skills & Experience

• Substantial hands-on experience processing payroll end-to-end using UKG / Pay Pro (UltiPro / UKG Pro).
• Comprehensive understanding of gross-to-net calculations, payroll deductions, retro adjustments, and statutory payroll tax rules.
• Practical background working with time and attendance systems, timesheet validation, and supervisor approval processes.
• Proven track record of managing a high-volume payroll inbox with strong written communication and prompt ticket resolution.
• Exceptional organizational habits, sharp attention to detail, and comfort managing recurring, deadline-critical cycles independently.
• Full work authorization in the Philippines (visa sponsorship is not available).

Nice-to-have

• Prior experience navigating multi-state or multi-location payroll operations and local tax withholdings.
• Practical familiarity assisting with internal payroll reporting, regular reconciliations, or external audit requests.
