Warner Bros. Discovery · Burbank, CA · 1 mo ago
Accounting$62k–$116k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "Your New Role" description, "Your Role Accountabilities", "Qualifications & Experience", "How We Get Things Done…" (principles), "Championing Inclusion at WBD" (EEO), compensation info, benefits. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Welcome to Warner Bros. Discovery… the stuff dreams are made of." etc? That's introductory fluff; we need to preserve substantive information. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove EEO statements, but we can keep inclusion statement? It's EEO; likely remove. Also remove "How We Get Things Done…" maybe not needed? It's guiding principles; could be considered boilerplate? It's not strictly EEO but maybe still fluff. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We need to include sections only when posting has real, specific content. So we need sections: About the role (maybe from "Your New Role" paragraph), Responsibilities (from "Your Role Accountabilities"), Qualifications (from "Qualifications & Experience"), Benefits (if stated), Pay (if stated), Schedule (if stated). The posting includes Pay Range and benefits description. So we can include Pay and Benefits sections. Schedule not mentioned, so omit.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Use for section headings. Use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details like responsibilities list, qualifications list, benefits list, pay range.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to remove duplicated lines. Ensure no repeated content.
Let's extract substantive content:
Intro: "Warner Bros. Discovery is seeking a detail-oriented Payroll Tax & Garnishments Analyst to join the GBS P&C Shared Services team on a one-year project basis. This role provides technical expertise in payroll tax and garnishments administration while supporting compliance with federal, state, local, and international regulations and reporting requirements. Responsibilities include reviewing payroll tax filings, validating garnishment processing, researching and resolving complex issues, and responding to employee and stakeholder inquiries. Partnering closely with the Supervisor, Payroll Tax & Garnishments, the Analyst helps ensure regulatory compliance across multiple jurisdictions and legal entities while supporting process improvements, compliance initiatives, and special projects."
That's about the role.
Then "Your Role Accountabilities" bullet list (actually sentences). We'll convert to
- .
List items:
- Maintain payroll tax and garnishment data within Workday Payroll, ensuring accuracy and compliance with applicable regulations.
- Review, validate, and submit payroll tax data for tax returns and ADP filings.

Note some duplicates: "Review and update training materials..." appears twice slightly different; we can keep both? Might be duplicate; we should deduplicate. The first: "Review and update training materials on tax and garnishment processing and maintain internal policies and procedures in accordance with the law." Second: "Maintain and update training materials, policies, and procedures to ensure alignment with legal, regulatory, and business requirements." They are similar but not identical; we can keep both as they add nuance. Might be okay.
Qualifications & Experience:
- Experience: Minimum of 2 years of experience in multi-state payroll, payroll tax, and garnishment administration, working with Workday Payroll, Workday HCM, or a comparable SaaS-based payroll platform. Experience supporting payroll operations within a large, complex, multi-business unit organization is a plus.

Benefits: "In addition, Warner Bros. Discovery provides a variety of benefits to employees, including health insurance coverage, an employee wellness program, life and disability insurance, a retirement savings plan, paid holidays and sick time and vacation."
Also earlier: "thoughtfully curated benefits" but not specific. We'll use the specific list.
Pay: "Pay Range: $62,302.00 - $115,704.00 salary per year. Other rewards may include annual bonuses, short- and long-term incentives, and program-specific awards."
We'll include Pay section with that info.
Schedule: not mentioned, omit.
We must not include boilerplate like "Championing Inclusion at WBD", "How We Get Things Done…", EEO statements, etc.
We also need to remove duplicated lines: ensure no duplicate responsibility items.
