Payroll & HR Assistant

If you love people as much as you love precision, and you take pride in keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes, this is your kind of role! Our client is looking for a detail-oriented, organized, and approachable Payroll & HR Assistant to join their close-knit team.

You’ll be the go-to person ensuring their employees are paid accurately and on time, while also supporting the HR department in creating a positive employee experience from onboarding through to long-term success. This is an ideal opportunity for someone who thrives in a collaborative, team-first culture where hard work is recognized, and personal growth is encouraged.

Here, you’re not just processing payroll, you’re helping take care of the people who make the company great.

What You’ll Do

• Process accurate and timely bi-weekly payroll for a team that values your attention to detail
• Review timesheets, verify hours, and ensure all payroll changes (new hires, terminations, benefits updates, etc.) are completed seamlessly
• Maintain employee information in HR and payroll systems with accuracy and confidentiality
• Partner with the Director of Human Resources to support day-to-day HR operations, onboarding, and employee communications
• Help manage benefits and pension plans — enrollments, changes, and terminations
• Prepare and process ROEs, benefit updates, and other employment documents
• Take initiative in improving processes and finding efficiencies within payroll and HR functions
• Jump in wherever needed — because teamwork is how we do things here!

What You Bring

• Payroll Compliance Practitioner (PCP) or Certified Payroll Manager (CPM) designation (or working toward one)
• 2–3 years of hands-on payroll experience (hourly, bi-weekly preferred)
• Experience with payroll and HRIS systems (any combination is great!)
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office and comfort working with data and systems
• A high level of discretion and integrity when handling confidential information
• Exceptional organization and communication skills
• A proactive, 'roll up your sleeves' attitude — you like to learn, contribute, and grow
• Bonus points for experience in a manufacturing or office environment

Why You’ll Love It Here

• We’re more than just a workplace — we’re a community. Our team values trust, balance, and fun, and we celebrate our wins together.
• Believes in family values and a supportive, inclusive culture
• Offers career growth and professional development opportunities
• Provides a full range of benefits, including health, dental, pension, and life insurance
• Hosts regular company events and employee appreciation initiatives
• Offers paid time off, tuition reimbursement, and an Employee Assistance Program
• Has on-site parking and leadership that genuinely cares about your success

Ready to join a company that values accuracy and attitude, where you can grow your career while being part of a team that feels like family? We’d love to meet you!
