Payroll Manager

Description

The Payroll Manager is a hands-on role responsible for the accurate, timely, and compliant delivery of payroll across a complex, multi-state and multi-site environment. This position serves as the primary operational owner for Managed Payroll and payroll-related Workforce Management processes, with accountability for stabilizing payroll operations, resolving complex issues, strengthening controls, and driving consistent payroll discipline across a complex, multi-site environment.

The Manager must be able to operate both strategically and directly in the details - leading the payroll function while personally supporting audits, reconciliations, troubleshooting, testing, configuration review, and issue resolution as needed. The role partners closely with HR Operations, Finance, site HR, and Dayforce to ensure payroll and time data are accurate, issues are resolved to root cause, and appropriate controls and processes are sustained.

• Own and actively support payroll operations across a complex, multi-state and multi-site environment, ensuring accurate and timely payroll delivery.
• Lead payroll processing, audits, reconciliations, approvals, funding coordination, corrections, off cycle activity, quarter-end, and year-end processes.
• Serve as the primary escalation point for complex payroll issues and drive issues through resolution, including root-cause analysis and corrective action.
• Establish and maintain strong payroll controls, documented procedures, audit processes, and accountability across the payroll cycle.
• Monitor payroll accuracy, exceptions, recurring errors, and key operational risks; implement sustainable corrective actions rather than relying on manual workarounds.
• Ensure appropriate payroll tax, deduction, earnings, and general ledger processes are supported and reconciled in partnership with internal and external stakeholders.
• Partner with Finance and HR to support payroll reporting, reconciliations, audits, and compliance requirements.
