• Calculate and audit gross-to-net payroll and reconcile payroll registers before final processing.
• Create and validate direct deposit files, payroll checks, pay statements, and payroll funding documentation.
• Complete payroll posting activities and review payroll-related general ledger transactions for accuracy.
• Process union payroll requirements, including wage rates, classifications, fringe benefits, dues, and other collectively bargained deductions.
• Research and resolve payroll discrepancies, adjustments, and employee inquiries.
• Support employee onboarding and maintain employee records within Arcoro and related HR systems.
• Assist with payroll reporting, audits, and analytics.
• Maintain confidential payroll and employee information with the highest level of integrity.

In this role, you'll:

• Consistently deliver accurate and timely payroll processing.
• Manage recurring payroll deadlines with confidence and precision.
• Identify and resolve discrepancies before payroll is finalized.
• Build strong partnerships with employees, project teams, managers, Human Resources, Accounting, and external partners.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of payroll processes and controls.

What We're Looking For

Required Qualifications

• High school diploma or equivalent.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to accuracy.
• Excellent organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and meet critical deadlines.
• Proficiency in Microsoft 365, particularly Excel.
• Ability to handle confidential information with professionalism and discretion.
