+ Manage workers' compensation and unemployment claims

+ Maintain accurate and primarily electronic employee records

+ Partner closely with operations and leadership on staffing levels and workforce planning

+ Support compliance with employment, workplace safety, and company policies

+ Assist employees with questions related to pay, benefits, policies, and workplace matters

Requirements

+ 3-5 years of progressive HR experience

+ Hands-on payroll experience; ADP experience is strongly preferred

+ Experience supporting an hourly, seasonal, production, manufacturing, distribution, or similarly fluctuating workforce

+ Strong employee-relations skills and confidence handling sensitive workplace matters
