Respond professionally to employee questions about pay, deductions, and payroll policies. Assist with payroll reconciliations, year-end W-2 processing, and audit support. Maintain compliance with federal, state, and local payroll, wage-and-hour, and confidentiality requirements, staying current on legislation and regulations affecting payroll.
