Payroll Specialist | Hybrid | Denver Metro

I’m working with a well-established organization that is looking to add an experienced Payroll Specialist to its growing payroll team.

This is a great opportunity for someone coming from a high-volume, multi-state payroll environment who enjoys digging into payroll details, resolving discrepancies, and working with large amounts of data.

• Pay: Up to $33/hour
• Location: Denver Metro
• Schedule: Hybrid - increased onsite presence during training, then 3 days remote per week

What You'll Be Doing:

• Process high-volume, multi-state payroll for a large employee population.
• Review payroll data for accuracy and troubleshoot discrepancies.
• Respond to employee questions regarding pay, deductions, taxes, garnishments, and other payroll matters.
• Manage payroll data imports, reporting, and reconciliations.
• Work extensively in Excel, including VLOOKUPs, PivotTables, and large data sets.
• Support payroll audits and maintain accurate payroll documentation.
• Partner with internal teams to resolve payroll issues and meet processing deadlines.
• Maintain accurate employee payroll records and support payroll compliance.

What We're Looking For:

• Previous payroll processing experience in a high-volume environment.
• Experience with multi-state payroll strongly preferred.
• Hands-on experience with UKG/UltiPro is highly preferred.
• Strong Excel skills, including VLOOKUPs and PivotTables.
• Experience with ADP or another major payroll platform is a plus.
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple deadlines.
• Comfortable working independently while collaborating with a larger payroll team.
