Payroll Coordinator

Payroll Specialist
Looking for a payroll opportunity where you can hit the ground running and make an immediate impact? This is a great opportunity for an experienced payroll professional to take ownership of multi-state payroll processing and play a key role during a critical transition period.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• Opportunity to own payroll processing with minimal ramp-up time

• Multi-state payroll exposure across Illinois and Wisconsin employees

• Mix of weekly, bi-weekly, and semi-monthly payroll cycles for well-rounded experience

• Opportunity to assist with a future payroll system transition to Paylocity

• High-visibility role reporting directly to the Director of HR

• Flexible schedule options (8:00–5:00 or 8:00–4:30)

• Stable, professional environment with a strong focus on accuracy and confidentiality

Key Responsibilities for the Payroll Specialist:

• Process weekly, bi-weekly, and semi-monthly payrolls for hourly and salaried employees

• Manage payroll administration for approximately 80+ employees across multiple entities

• Administer payroll-related deductions including 401(k), FSA, and HSA plans

• Ensure accurate multi-state payroll processing and compliance

• Support payroll system transition initiatives and process improvements as needed

Qualifications for the Payroll Specialist:

• Strong experience with ADP Workforce Now (required)

• Experience processing multi-state payrolls

• Ability to maintain strict confidentiality with sensitive payroll information

• Paylocity experience is a plus

• Payroll experience preferred over educational requirements
