This role is focused on routine tactical execution, accurate data entry, and team coordination — it is not a strategic consultant or management role.

Working under the direct supervision of the HR Supervisor, the Payroll Processing Clerk II performs regular data entry, processes semi-monthly time-tracking records, executes multi-state payroll routines in UKG Ready, and assists with employee engagement activities. You will serve as the friendly, go-to resource for internal payroll questions and handle routine administrative tasks.
