Payroll Specialist

Overview

Dura Serv is looking for a Payroll Specialist who treats accuracy as a non-negotiable standard and understands that every number on a paycheck represents a person.

As a Payroll Specialist on our Corporate Shared Team Services team, you will manage weekly and semi-monthly payroll cycles, administer Time & Attendance in ADP Workforce Now, navigate certified payroll and prevailing wage requirements, and handle the full spectrum of deductions, special pay, and compliance reporting that a national, multi‑state workforce demands.

• Direct the preparation and processing of weekly and semi-monthly payroll for a multi‑state, multi‑location workforce using ADP Workforce Now
• Manage the Time & Attendance system — resolving timecard errors, auditing time reporting, and ensuring every hour worked is captured correctly before processing
• Calculate pro‑ratio pay and administer special pay including stipends, commissions, bonuses, and prevailing wages with precision and consistency

• Handle certified payroll reporting and prevailing wage administration — accurately, completely, and on schedule
• Administer all deductions including benefits, garnishments, and 401K with a zero‑tolerance standard for error
• Adhere to all applicable local, state, and federal payroll laws and maintain audit‑ready payroll records at all times
• Generate reports for data analysis and compliance verification — translating payroll data into clear, actionable documentation

• Serve as a knowledgeable, responsive resource for team members and managers with payroll questions — you resolve issues quickly and communicate clearly
• Collaborate with HR, Finance, and branch operations to ensure payroll data integrity across all systems
• Identify process gaps and contribute to continuous improvement of payroll operations — you don't just process; you improve

• Detail‐oriented to a professional standard — errors catch your eye before they reach a paycheck, and you correct them before anyone has to ask
• Calm under pressure — payroll deadlines don't move, and neither do you when it matters most
• Technically proficient in ADP Workforce Now — required, not preferred. You know the system and you use it well.
• Knowledgeable in the end‑to‑end payroll cycle: wages, bonuses, overtime, garnishments, deductions, commissions, and leave types
• A clear communicator — you explain payroll processes and resolve discrepancies with patience and professionalism
• Self‑directed and reliable — you manage your deadlines, your queue, and your accuracy without needing oversight

Required:

• Experience with ADP Workforce Now payroll software — this is a firm requirement, not a preference
• Demonstrated experience with Certified Payroll reporting and Prevailing Wage — candidates without this experience will not be considered
• 2+ years of payroll processing experience in a multi‑state or multi‑location environment
• Working knowledge of federal, state, and local payroll compliance requirements

Preferred:

• High School diploma or equivalent required; associate or bachelor's degree preferred
• Advanced proficiency with Microsoft Office 365, particularly Excel for payroll reporting and data analysis
• Experience with HRIS and Time & Attendance systems integration

• Competitive compensation and full benefits package: medical, dental, vision, and 401K with company match
• Company‑provided life insurance, short‑term and long‑term disability
• Stable, office‑based environment with no travel requirement
• A team that values accuracy, accountability, and continuous process improvement
• Professional development and a clear path for growth within the STS function
