The successful candidate will be responsible for managing a high-volume payroll portfolio, working closely with another Payroll Specialist and reporting into the Payroll Manager.

Ensure payroll is processed accurately, on time, and in compliance with internal policies and legislative requirements.

Partner with the Payroll Manager and internal stakeholders to resolve payroll-related issues.
Support audits, reporting, and payroll documentation as required.

Qualifications

Strong experience in payroll processing within a high-volume environment.
Advanced Excel skills are required, including comfort working with complex spreadsheets and manual calculations.
Experience with UKG is considered an asset but is not required.
Strong attention to detail and ability to manage deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
Ability to work independently while contributing to a small payroll team.
Strong communication and problem-solving skills.
PCP certification is considered an asset.
