Position Overview

Working under the direct supervision of the HR Supervisor, the Payroll Processing Clerk II performs regular data entry, processes semi-monthly time-tracking records, executes multi-state payroll routines in UKG Ready, and assists with employee engagement activities. You will serve as the friendly, go-to resource for internal payroll questions and handle routine administrative tasks.

• Generate standard payroll output reports for the accounting department following each pay run.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for internal staff to answer payroll and time-tracking questions.

2. Culture, Events & Employee Recognition (~20% of role)

• Coordinate staff milestone celebrations, Years of Service awards, employee birthday/sympathy cards, and seasonal gifts.
• Work with HR and Sales Administration to plan quarterly safety lunches, holiday parties, and staff appreciation events.
• Assist HR Leadership with company award submissions (e.g., Best Places to Work).

3. Administrative & Office Support (~20% of role)

• Maintain company uniform and apparel inventory (shirts, coveralls) and manage business card orders.
• Support the HR Supervisor with employee onboarding documentation if needed.
• Monitor weekly Glassdoor and Indeed company reviews and flag updates for HR Leadership.
• Compile, log, and submit CMTA tax/training forms. Assist HR with basic benchmarking data collection via Salary.com as requested.
• Run local business errands as needed (driver's license required).

Required Competencies & Qualifications

• Education: High School Diploma or equivalent required. An associate's degree (AA) in Business, Payroll Certificate or related field is a plus.
• Experience: Minimum 3+ years of hands-on payroll processing experience for a workforce of 100+ employees in multiple states.
• Platform Expertise: Required direct hands-on experience using UKG (Ultimate Kronos Group) HRIS to process payroll. Experience within a PEO model is a plus. Proven multi-state payroll processing experience required. Exposure to Employer of Record (EOR) international payroll tools is a plus.
• Practical Skills: Strong numerical accuracy (calculating hours, percentages, deductions). Intermediate proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word) and Google Workspace.
• Interpersonal & Detail Focus: High accuracy in repetitive data entry, strict adherence to employee confidentiality, and a positive, helpful approach to employee service.

Compensation & Total Rewards

• Hourly Wage: $26.55 - $29.58 per hour (non-exempt).
• Health Benefits: 100% Company-Paid Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance premiums for the employee.
