• Manage unemployment claims and support legal counsel on employment matters as needed

HR Operations

• Coordinate payroll inputs, timekeeping and leave administration
• Administer benefits enrollment, renewals and employee questions

• Write, maintain and roll out the employee handbook, job descriptions and HR policies
• Track mandatory and annual trainings to completion
• Drive retention, engagement and recognition efforts in a demanding 24/7 care environment
