Senior Payroll Administrator
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.
We need to parse the posting.
Content:
- Intro: "WGNSTAR is a dynamic and growing company with a global footprint. Primarily focused on the semiconductor industry, we provide a platform for you to expand your career with knowledge gained on the job training, and tailored development. We know we need talented people like you that hold similar values, which is why we do not put limits on learning, development, industry, and personal growth. Start your path to a WGNSTAR career today!"
- Then metadata: "Schedule: Monday - Friday, In-Office with the possibility of a hybrid schedule as determined by the manager. Pay Rate: $70k - $73k Annually, DOE Location: Hillsboro, OR Position Type: Full Time Benefits: This position is eligible for WGNSTAR’s full benefits package, including Medical, Dental, Vision, and 401(k). Additional benefits are listed at the end of this posting."
- Then "Principal Duties And Responsibilities" list.
- Then "Requirements:" list.
- Then "Preferences:" list.
- Then "Physical Effort/Activities:" description.
- Then "Additional Benefits: Paid Vacation, Select Holidays, Overtime Opportunities, On-site Facilities & Career Development Opportunities."
- Then a paragraph about people who thrive.
- Then a paragraph about job description not exhaustive.
- Then "This position is not eligible for visa sponsorship. All applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States without the need for current or future sponsorship (e.g., H-1B, O-1, etc). Additionally, WGNSTAR does not participate in the STEM OPT extension program for this role."
- Then "Equal opportunities and Social Governance WGNSTAR is an Equal Opportunity Employer, drug free workplace, and complies with ADA regulations as applicable. WGNSTAR places an immense emphasis on equal employment, encourages diversity in the workplace, and applies an open-door policy for inclusion of all employees. Our diversity program encourages people from any gender, background, ethnicity, culture, education, and experience to join the company and more importantly build a career through employee development. Through our Global wellness programs, WGNSTAR ensures our employees and families have access to a full range of wellness services through our Employee Assistance Program (EAP). In the communities that surround our business operations, we support individual and group sponsorships for local sports and those that are vulnerable in society."
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove visa sponsorship, STEM OPT, etc. Also remove "Equal opportunities and Social Governance" paragraph. Also remove "This position is not eligible for visa sponsorship..." etc. Also remove "This job description is intended to convey information essential..." maybe not boilerplate? It's generic but maybe considered boilerplate; but it's about scope. Might be considered boilerplate? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The job description not exhaustive may be considered boilerplate but it's not exactly legal; but it's a standard disclaimer. Might be considered legal boilerplate. Safer to remove it. Also remove "Additional Benefits: Paid Vacation, Select Holidays, Overtime Opportunities, On-site Facilities & Career Development Opportunities." That's benefits specifics, we should keep as Benefits section.
We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content.
We have:
- About the role / company: we have intro paragraph. Could be "About the role" or "About WGNSTAR". Use
About the role
with paragraph.
- Responsibilities: we have "Principal Duties And Responsibilities" list. Use Responsibilities
with - items.
- Requirements: we have "Requirements:" list. Use
Requirements
with - .
- Preferences: we have "Preferences:" list. Could be under "Qualifications" or "Skills"? The instruction includes Qualifications, Skills as possible headings. Preferences could be considered "Qualifications" or "Skills". But we have separate Preferences list; we could combine with Requirements? But better to have a "Qualifications" section that includes both required and preferred? However instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Requirements and Preferences into one "Qualifications" section with subheadings? But we must use only
for section headings; we could have multiple sections. Having both Requirements and Preferences as separate sections may be thin but each has substantive content. Could combine into "Qualifications" with two lists: Required and Preferred. But we need to follow instruction: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we could have Requirements and Qualifications separate? Might be redundant. Better to have "Requirements" for required, and "Preferences" maybe as "Preferred Qualifications". But we don't have a heading for Preferred Qualifications in the list; but we could use "Qualifications" for required and "Skills" for preferences? Not ideal.
Given the instruction to prefer few substantive sections, maybe we combine Requirements and Preferences into one "Requirements" section, with sub-lists? But we must not invent headings inside; we could just list all items together, but we would lose distinction. However the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; we can keep both required and preferred items in same list, but we might lose the distinction but still preserve info. It's okay.
Alternatively, we could have "Requirements" and "Qualifications" sections: Requirements for mandatory, Qualifications for preferred. That seems reasonable.
We also have "Physical Effort/Activities:" which is about physical demands. Could be part of "Requirements" or a separate section like "Physical Requirements". Not in the list of headings but we could put under "Requirements". Might be okay.
We have Benefits: we have "Benefits: This position is eligible for WGNSTAR’s full benefits package, including Medical, Dental, Vision, and 401(k)." plus Additional Benefits list. So we can have a Benefits section with - items.
We have Schedule: we have schedule info. So we can have Schedule section.
We have Pay: we have Pay Rate. So we can have Pay section.
We have Location: we have Location: Hillsboro, OR. Could be part of About the role or a separate meta. Not required to have a heading; we can fold into About the role paragraph.
Position Type: Full Time. Could be in About the role.
We need to avoid duplicating lines.
Now, we need to remove boilerplate: EEO, visa sponsorship, STEM OPT, equal opportunities paragraph, job description not exhaustive, etc.
Also remove "Additional benefits are listed at the end of this posting." (since we will list them). Also remove "The people who thrive most at WGNSTAR are those individuals..." maybe keep? It's descriptive about culture; could be part of About the role. It's not boilerplate; it's substantive about ideal candidate. Could keep.
Also remove "This position is not eligible for visa sponsorship..." etc.
Also remove "Equal opportunities and Social Governance ..." paragraph.
Also remove "Through our Global wellness programs..." maybe keep as part of Benefits? It's about wellness programs; could be part of Benefits.
But we need to be careful not to include legal boilerplate.
Let's extract substantive content:
Intro paragraph: "WGNSTAR is a dynamic and growing company with a global footprint. Primarily focused on the semiconductor industry, we provide a platform for you to expand your career with knowledge gained on the job training, and tailored development. We know we need talented people like you that hold similar values, which is why we do not put limits on learning, development, industry, and personal growth. Start your path to a WGNSTAR career today!"

Schedule: "Monday - Friday, In-Office with the possibility of a hybrid schedule as determined by the manager."
Pay Rate: "$70k - $73k Annually, DOE"

Benefits: "This position is eligible for WGNSTAR’s full benefits package, including Medical, Dental, Vision, and 401(k)." Additional Benefits: "Paid Vacation, Select Holidays, Overtime Opportunities, On-site Facilities & Career Development Opportunities."
Also maybe "Through our Global wellness programs, WGNSTAR ensures our employees and families have access to a full range of wellness services through our Employee Assistance Program (EAP)." That's a benefit.
