This is a hands-on contractor role responsible for payroll processing, validation, reconciliation, issue resolution, and maintaining accurate payroll records.

This role is based in Las Vegas, Nevada and is expected to work onsite 2 days per week.

The role requires direct experience working in the UKG payroll module and the ability to independently research and resolve payroll discrepancies. Experience with the Oracle payroll module is preferred and will support Switch's payroll operations and evolving payroll technology environment.

• Identify opportunities to improve payroll accuracy, controls, consistency, and efficiency.

What We're Looking For

• You communicate clearly with employees and internal business partners when resolving payroll questions.

• You handle employee and payroll information with appropriate confidentiality and discretion.
