We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's parse the posting. Key sections: - Intro: "Kelly is seeking an experienced Payroll Administrator for a hybrid opportunity with Bausch + Lomb in Bridgewater, NJ. This is an excellent opportunity for a payroll professional who understands the fundamentals behind payroll—not simply how to enter information into a system. We’re looking for someone who can confidently review timecards, identify discrepancies, reconcile payroll data, research employee pay issues, and work closely with internal teams and third-party payroll providers to ensure accurate and timely payroll processing. The position is expected to convert to a permanent Bausch + Lomb employee after approximately 6 months, based on performance and business needs. Upon conversion, compensation can be reevaluated and the position will be eligible for the company’s annual bonus program." That's about the role. Could be "About the role" heading. - "What You’ll Do In this role, you will:" then bullet list of duties. That's Responsibilities. - "Required Qualifications What We’re Looking For" then bullet list of qualifications. That's Requirements/Qualifications. - "Preferred Experience Experience with any of the following is highly valued but not required:" then bullet list. That could be "Preferred Qualifications" or "Preferred Experience". We can include as "Preferred Experience" heading. - "Schedule & Location This is a hybrid position based in Bridgewater, NJ. 3 days onsite / 2 days remote each week Monday–Friday Flexible start time between 8:00 AM and 9:00 AM Employees have flexibility in selecting their onsite days based on business needs" That's Schedule. - "Compensation & Conversion $30–$35/hour with benefits while working through Kelly (PTO, Health Insurance, etc) Contract-to-hire opportunity Anticipated conversion to permanent employment after approximately 6 months, based on performance and business needs Compensation may be reevaluated upon conversion Annual bonus eligibility after conversion" That's Pay and Benefits. - "Who Will Be Successful The strongest candidate will be someone who can go beyond simply processing transactions and demonstrate an understanding of why payroll numbers are correct or incorrect. You should be comfortable explaining how you would investigate a payroll discrepancy, review a questionable timecard, reconcile payroll data, respond professionally to an employee concern, and work through an issue when the answer isn’t immediately obvious. If you have a strong payroll foundation, enjoy problem-solving and reconciliation, and are looking for an opportunity where you can continue developing your payroll expertise, we’d love to hear from you." That's maybe "What We’re Looking For" but we already have qualifications. Could be "Ideal Candidate" but not required heading. Might be omitted if not needed. But we could include as "What We’re Looking For" but we already have qualifications. Might be redundant. Better to omit if it's just fluff. However it contains substantive info about mindset. Could be included under "About the role" or "Responsibilities". Probably safe to omit as it's somewhat generic. But we need to preserve all substantive information; we cannot invent or summarize away detail. If we omit, we lose that detail. However we could incorporate into "About the role" or "What You’ll Do". It's about candidate traits, not duties. Could be a section "What We’re Looking For" but we already have qualifications. Might be okay to have both "Required Qualifications" and "Preferred Experience". The "Who Will Be Successful" is more about attributes; we could treat as "Ideal Candidate" heading. The instructions say use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. They didn't forbid other headings, but they gave examples. It says "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can use those or similar. It didn't say we cannot add other headings, but better to stick to those. We could map "Who Will Be Successful" to "About the role" or "Qualifications". Might be okay to include as a paragraph under "About the role". That preserves info. - Then there is a paragraph about "Apply today..." which is application instruction; we should remove. - Then Kelly benefits description: "As part of our promise to talent, Kelly supports those who work with us through a variety of benefits, perks, and work-related resources. Please note: The following benefits reflect Kelly's general offerings. Eligibility may vary by assignment, location, and job type. Kelly offers eligible employees voluntary benefit plans including medical, dental, vision, telemedicine, term life, whole life, accident insurance, critical illness, a legal plan, and short-term disability. As a Kelly employee, you will have access to a retirement savings plan, service bonus and holiday pay plans (earn up to eight paid holidays per benefit year), and a transit spending account. In addition, employees are entitled to earn paid sick leave under the applicable state or local plan. Click here for more information on benefits and perks that may be available to you as a member of the Kelly Talent Community. Get a complete career fit with Kelly®...." This is benefits info from Kelly (staffing agency). This is substantive benefits while working through Kelly. Should be included under Benefits heading. Also note compensation & conversion includes benefits while working through Kelly (PTO, Health Insurance, etc). So we need to combine. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. At the end there is a long EEO statement etc. Must remove. Thus final HTML will have sections:

About the role

with paragraph(s) summarizing the intro and maybe the "Who Will Be Successful" content.

Responsibilities

with
  • list of duties.

    Required Qualifications

    with
    • list.

      Preferred Experience

      with
      • list.

        Schedule

        with paragraph(s) about hybrid schedule.

        Pay

        with paragraph(s) about compensation: $30–$35/hour with benefits while working through Kelly, contract-to-hire, anticipated conversion after 6 months, compensation may be reevaluated, annual bonus eligibility after conversion.

        Benefits

        with paragraph(s) about Kelly benefits: medical, dental, vision, telemedicine, term life, whole life, accident insurance, critical illness, legal plan, short-term disability, retirement savings plan, service bonus and holiday pay plans (up to eight paid holidays per benefit year), transit spending account, paid sick leave per state/local plan. We need to ensure we don't repeat info. The compensation section already mentions benefits while working through Kelly (PTO, Health Insurance, etc). The benefits section can elaborate. We must not include fluff like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not include duplicated lines. Now produce HTML fragment. Check that we didn't include any markdown fences. Let's craft. First, About the role paragraph: combine intro and Who Will Be Successful. Intro: "Kelly is seeking an experienced Payroll Administrator for a hybrid opportunity with Bausch + Lomb in Bridgewater, NJ. This is an excellent opportunity for a payroll professional who understands the fundamentals behind payroll—not simply how to enter information into a system. We’re looking for someone who can confidently review timecards, identify discrepancies, reconcile payroll data, research employee pay issues, and work closely with internal teams and third-party payroll providers to ensure accurate and timely payroll processing. The position is expected to convert to a permanent Bausch + Lomb employee after approximately 6 months, based on performance and business needs. Upon conversion, compensation can be reevaluated and the position will be eligible for the company’s annual bonus program." Who Will Be Successful: "The strongest candidate will be someone who can go beyond simply processing transactions and demonstrate an understanding of why payroll numbers are correct or incorrect. You should be comfortable explaining how you would investigate a payroll discrepancy, review a questionable timecard, reconcile payroll data, respond professionally to an employee concern, and work through an issue when the answer isn’t immediately obvious. If you have a strong payroll foundation, enjoy problem-solving and reconciliation, and are looking for an opportunity where you can continue developing your payroll expertise, we’d love to hear from you." We can merge into one paragraph or two. Now Responsibilities list: - Support and review biweekly payroll processing in partnership with third-party managed payroll service providers - Review and audit employee timecards and identify and correct discrepancies before payroll submission - Perform payroll reconciliations and validations to ensure payroll data is complete and accurate - Reconcile payroll information related to new hires, terminations, employee changes, and leaves of absence - Research and resolve employee questions involving pay, deductions, taxes, time reporting, and other payroll matters - Monitor payroll communications and provide timely, professional responses to employees and internal stakeholders - Maintain a strong understanding of payroll fundamentals, including earnings, deductions, taxes, and time reporting - Maintain accurate payroll records and documentation - Partner with HR, Benefits, Compensation, Finance, and external payroll providers - Assist with payroll audits, reporting, and special projects - Work with payroll and HR systems including UKG, ADP, and SuccessFactors - Utilize Excel regularly for payroll review, reconciliation, tracking, and reporting Now Required Qualifications list: - Bachelor’s degree in Business, Accounting, Human Resources, Finance, or a related field - 3+ years of payroll or payroll administration experience - Payroll certification or formal payroll training, such as FPC (Fundamental Payroll Certification) or comparable payroll training - Strong understanding of payroll fundamentals and the ability to explain the payroll process - Experience reviewing timecards and identifying or correcting payroll discrepancies - Experience with or a strong understanding of payroll reconciliation - Strong Microsoft Excel skills - Experience using payroll, HRIS, and/or timekeeping systems - Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple deadlines - Excellent written and verbal communication skills - Ability to handle confidential and sensitive employee information appropriately - Willingness and ability to learn new payroll processes and systems Now Preferred Experience list: - Experience with any of the following is highly valued but not required: UKG, ADP, SAP, SuccessFactors - Payroll managed services or third-party payroll providers - U.S. and Canadian payroll - Union and non-union employee populations - Exempt and non-exempt payroll - Leave-of-absence administration - Supporting HR or Finance teams - Canadian and union payroll experience are not required. Candidates with a strong U.S. payroll foundation who are willing and able to learn will be considered. We need to format as list items. The last sentence is more a note; we can include as a list item: "Canadian and union payroll experience are not required. Candidates with a strong U.S. payroll foundation who are willing and able to learn will be considered." Now Schedule paragraph: "This is a hybrid position based in Bridgewater, NJ. 3 days onsite / 2 days remote each week, Monday–Friday. Flexible start time between 8:00 AM and 9:00 AM. Employees have flexibility in selecting their onsite days based on business needs." Now Pay paragraph: "Compensation is $30–$35/hour with benefits while working through Kelly (including PTO, Health Insurance, etc.). This is a contract-to-hire opportunity with anticipated conversion to permanent employment after approximately 6 months, based on performance and business needs. Compensation may be reevaluated upon conversion, and the role will be eligible for the company’s annual bonus
