Human Resources Specialist (Onboarding)
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So we don't put "Human Resources Specialist" as heading.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract.
About the role: The description paragraph up to colon? Actually the description includes: "At the Utah Transit Authority (UTA, we put people first—both our employees and our community. Working here means being part of a dynamic, forward-thinking organization where innovation meets public service. As a Human Resources Specialist, you’ll play a key role in supporting and empowering our workforce, helping create a positive and efficient HR experience while tackling new challenges and making an impact every day. This position will be part of UTA’s onboarding team and will be responsible to:" Then the list follows. So the About the role could be the paragraph before the colon: "At the Utah Transit Authority (UTA, we put people first—both our employees and our community. Working here means being part of a dynamic, forward-thinking organization where innovation meets public service. As a Human Resources Specialist, you’ll play a key role in supporting and empowering our workforce, helping create a positive and efficient HR experience while tackling new challenges and making an impact every day. This position will be part of UTA’s onboarding team."
We could also include location: "This is an on-site position at our Frontlines headquarters in Salt Lake City, UT". That's substantive. Could add to About the role.
Now Responsibilities: list items:
- Perform background checks and/or reference checks, fingering printing system and courts for new employees and contractors.
- Maintain employee and contractor badges, transit passes including dependent passes and badging system.
- Track new hires and collaborate with Talent Acquisition and HRBP’s when onboarding employees to ensure a positive experience throughout the process.
- Directly support UTA’s Human Resources Information System (HRIS), Workday, to ensure data integrity, system security, and operational efficiency.
- Be responsible for the day-to-day HRIS system operations and serve as a technical liaison with Talent Acquisition and Human Resources to optimize HR processes.
- Assist with the development and implementation of HRIS procedures in compliance with all local, state, and federal regulations.
- Maintain and update confidential employee records.
- Perform operational and administrative activities related to onboarding new employees.
Note: "fingering printing system" likely typo for fingerprinting. Keep as is.
Now Requirements: Minimum qualifications: "Two years’ HR related work experience. Work experience in HRIS, ATS or other related software applications. Experience with Workday a plus.Associate’s degree or related field required.SHRM or HRCI certification preferred." Also "OR the equivalent combination of relevant education and experience. [UTA reserves the right to determine the equivalencies of education and experience.]". We should keep the equivalent combo sentence but remove the bracketed note about UTA reserves right? That's boilerplate? It's a statement about equivalency determination; might be considered boilerplate but it's part of qualifications. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The equivalency statement is not exactly those categories, but it's a note about UTA's right to determine equivalencies. Might be considered legal boilerplate? It's about their policy. Safer to keep? The instruction says remove legal boilerplate. This is a legal statement about equivalency determination. I'd remove it to be safe. Keep the "OR the equivalent combination of relevant education and experience." That's substantive. Remove the bracketed note.
Now Qualifications: maybe we separate "Preferred qualifications"? But we have SHRM or HRCI certification preferred already in minimum qualifications. Could treat that as Qualifications section. But we already used Requirements for minimum qualifications. Qualifications could be preferred? However we have no separate preferred besides that. Could combine.
But we need to follow headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We have content for:
- About the role: description paragraph + location.
- Responsibilities: list.
- Requirements: minimum qualifications (2 years HR experience, HRIS/ATS/Workday experience, Associate's degree, SHRM/HRCI cert preferred, OR equivalent combo).
- Qualifications: maybe we could put "Preferred: SHRM or HRCI certification" but that's already in Requirements. Could instead put "Preferred: SHRM or HRCI certification" as Qualifications. But we need to avoid duplication. Perhaps we treat Requirements as minimum qualifications, Qualifications as preferred certifications. But we already have SHRM/HRCI cert preferred in minimum qualifications; we could move it to Qualifications. Let's parse: Minimum qualifications: Two years’ HR related work experience. Work experience in HRIS, ATS or other related software applications. Experience with Workday a plus. Associate’s degree or related field required. SHRM or HRCI certification preferred. OR the equivalent combination...
Thus we could split: Requirements: Two years’ HR related work experience. Work experience in HRIS, ATS or other related software applications. Experience with Workday a plus. Associate’s degree or related field required. OR the equivalent combination of relevant education and experience.
Qualifications: SHRM or HRCI certification preferred.
That avoids duplication.
Now Skills: Knowledge/Skills/Abilities list: HRIS, ATS or other related software applications. Human Resources best practices. Working knowledge of employment/labor laws. Excellent writing skills and verbal communication skills. Ability to solve problems and think critically. Ability to collect, analyze and interpret information. Ability to organize, prioritize, and follow through on tasks. Professionalism, confidentiality, and discretion. MS-Office proficiency at the intermediate level in Word and Excel, and basic level in MS-PowerPoint. UTA Leadership Competencies list (Social Acumen, Develops Self & Others, Ensures Fairness, Safety, Integrity, Belonging, Teamwork, Empowerment, Accountability). That's a lot; we should include them as list items under Skills.
Now Benefits: The total rewards benefits package paragraph and list. Need to capture all specifics: Health, dental, vision, life/AD&D, short-term and long-term disability insurance, with Flexible Spending and Dependent Care accounts. Choice between Traditional Co-Pay or High Deductible Health Plans for medical coverage. HSA with company match available to employees enrolled in the HDHP. Benefit plans include coverage for domestic partners (eligibility affidavit required for coverage). Onsite Health and Wellness Clinics for medical care at no cost to employees, spouses, domestic partners, and dependent children. 22 days of accrued paid time off (13 vacation days and 9 sick days), which increases with tenure at UTA. 10 paid holidays and two paid (2) floating holidays per year. Retirement options - Pension Plan with 5-year vesting schedule and 457 Contribution Plan, available for immediate contributions and company matching. Generous tuition reimbursement for higher education, available for any higher education degree (bachelor, master, or PHD). Course of study must be approved prior to enrollment. Training, development, and career advancement opportunities. Paid parental leave for birth, adoption, and child placement (after 12 months of employment). Free transit passes for employees, their spouses, and their dependent children. Employee assistance program – includes counseling, legal services, financial planning, etc. UTA Well – a comprehensive wellness program designed to support employees and dependents in their health and wellness goals. Free on-site fitness facilities and discounted membership to VASA Fitness and EoS Fitness. Discounted cell phone plans with T-Mobile and AT&T. Pet insurance plan options (tailored plan coverage based on pet’s health and needs).
We need to put as list items.
Pay: Pay Range: $25.82 or more, depending on experience.
Schedule: "As a full-time Administrative Employee" and "This job requires regular and predictable attendance." Could combine: "This is a full-time position requiring regular and predictable attendance."
Now we must ensure we don't include any boilerplate like EEO, drug testing, accommodation request, etc. Also remove the line "If interested, apply before: Monday, October 5th, 2026 @ 11:59 PM MST". Also remove the "[UTA reserves the right to determine the equivalencies of education and experience.]". Also remove the "PM21 Utah Transit Authority is an Equal Opportunity Employer..." etc. Also remove the drug testing paragraphs.
