The Payroll Specialist supports the full-cycle U.S. based employees' payroll process with a specific focus on multi-state compliance and remote-work tax nexus and Canada-based employees (multi-province).

This role ensures that employees are paid accurately and that the company remains compliant with the diverse labor and tax laws of every state and province where Belimo has a physical or remote presence.
