  • Respond to employee inquiries regarding pay, taxes, and deductions
  • Process garnishments, benefit deductions, and retirement contributions

  • Complete quarterly MSHA reporting
  • Assist with onboarding and new-hire materials
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for employee questions related to benefits and company policies
  • Support benefits administration, claims, and open enrollment activities

Team & Culture Support (10%)

  • Assist with company meetings, employee events, celebrations, and training initiatives
  • Provide support across multiple departments as needed
  • Help foster a positive and engaging employee experience

If you're looking for a career, not just a job, and want to join a company where employees are valued, leadership is engaged, and teamwork is at the heart of everything we do, we'd love to hear from you.

What We're Looking For

  • 3+ years of payroll and benefits administration experience
  • Strong understanding of payroll regulations and compliance requirements
