Healthcare Payroll Consultant

About the role

Acuvance ROI is seeking an experienced Healthcare Payroll Specialist to serve as a backfill resource for a 12-month billable contract engagement supporting a healthcare client. Your mission is to keep payroll running seamlessly—on time, on system, and without disruption—while the client's lead Payroll professional transitions to a Workday Payroll deployment. This role requires the ability to step into an established environment, quickly learn existing business processes, and execute with minimal ramp time.

Responsibilities

• Process end-to-end payroll using the client's existing Paragon-based workflows and business processes.
• Identify and correct payroll errors in a timely manner, ensuring accuracy across all pay cycles.
• Partner with Finance to ensure bank file transfers and money movement occur on schedule for each payroll cycle.
• Process Personnel Action Forms (PAFs) and apply the downstream impact to employee pay accurately.
• Serve as a steady operational presence while the client's internal payroll lead focuses on Workday deployment.

Requirements

• 5+ years of payroll processing experience, with direct hands-on experience (Paragon payroll system expertise is a plus, but not required).
• Healthcare industry background, ideally within a hospital or health system environment.
• Demonstrated ability to follow established business processes and merge manual workflows with system-based payroll processing.
• Strong attention to detail and a track record of error-free, on-time payroll execution.
• Comfortable working independently in a remote environment and collaborating with distributed teams.
• Minimal travel flexibility to establish relationships on-site as needed.

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience supporting a payroll transition or system implementation.
• Familiarity with Workday Payroll (helpful context for the client environment).
