Job Details

Job Location: South Elgin, IL 60177

Position Type: Full Time

Salary Range: $20.00 - $25.00 Hourly

Job Shift: Day

Job Category: Admin - Clerical

We're looking for an HR Assistant who thrives in a fast-paced environment, juggles priorities like a pro, and genuinely enjoys helping people.

This isn't a sit-back-and-wait role. You'll be right in the middle of the action - supporting our HR Manager and interacting with personnel at every level of the organization. One day you might be coordinating a company event; the next, you're maintaining confidential employee records or building a new form from scratch. If you like variety and can work independently without losing a beat, you'll fit right in.

Cat-i Glass participates in E-Verify to confirm employment eligibility after hire.

What You'll Do

• Keep our records organized - filing, scanning, and archiving for retention compliance
• Help plan and coordinate company events
• Build forms and administrative tools as needs arise
• Provide day-to-day administrative support to the HR Department
• Support monthly training sessions
• Lend a hand to the main office and Accounting Department as needed
• Handle employee records with accuracy and the highest level of confidentiality
• Take on other duties as they come up - because no two days look the same

Qualifications

• Must be able to work in a fast-paced environment
• Detail oriented
• Excellent communication skills
• Strong written and verbal communication skills

Education/Experience

• High School or Equivalent
• 2 years minimum of HR Knowledge
• Proficient in Microsoft Office360
• Bilingual in English and Spanish

What We Have To Offer

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance - because a trip to the dentist or the eye doctor shouldn't be a financial decision.
• If you get hurt or sick, your paycheck doesn't stop. Short-term and long-term disability, so one bad injury doesn't turn into a financial crisis for your family.
• Time off that's actually yours. PTO plus floating holidays
• 401(k). Retirement isn't a "someday" problem. We help you build it starting now.
• Life insurance, on us. Company-paid, at no cost to you.
• We'll help pay for school. Tuition reimbursement if you want to keep growing - your future here isn't capped by the job you walked in with.
• This is a place you'll actually want to be. Friends & family events, a holiday party, and perks running all year long.
