Job Description
We are looking for a Payroll Specialist to support a non-profit organization in Saint Paul, Minnesota through a Long-term Contract assignment. This position will oversee semi-monthly payroll processing for a workforce that includes year-round employees and seasonal staff with varying pay structures, requiring strong attention to detail and confidence with hands-on calculations. The ideal candidate is comfortable managing payroll operations independently, can work through manual processes accurately, and brings a service-oriented approach in a mission-driven environment.
Responsibilities:
- Process payroll twice each month for permanent and seasonal employees, ensuring all earnings, deductions, and adjustments are completed accurately and on schedule.
- Review timesheets, pay rates, and supporting records to calculate wages in an environment with limited automation and multiple compensation structures.
- Manage payroll activities independently as the primary specialist supporting the organization's payroll function.
- Investigate and resolve discrepancies related to hours worked, pay amounts, taxes, and employee deductions before payroll is finalized.
- Administer payroll-related items such as garnishments and other required withholdings in compliance with applicable regulations.
- Maintain complete and organized payroll documentation, reports, and audit-ready records for each processing cycle.
- Partner with finance and internal stakeholders to support payroll administration as responsibilities align with the finance team.
- Provide on-site support during initial training and early payroll cycles, with flexibility to work remotely afterward as appropriate.
- Please note that all candidates are required to provide 2 recent supervisor or manager references in order to be considered for employment.
