The Payroll Specialist II processes accurate, compliant, on-time payroll for biweekly pay cycles and resolves non [1] standard payroll issues without close supervision. The role owns day-to-day payroll accuracy, identifies and fixes
process gaps, and provides basic analysis of payroll data. This role supports employees and managers across a
multi-office, project-based workforce and works with HR, Accounting, and project teams to keep time, pay, and
project cost data aligned.

Payroll Processing
  • Process payroll for assigned pay cycles, including regular and overtime hours, PTO, bonuses, per diem, and other earnings.
  • Validate timesheet and project charge code data before each cutoff. Follow up on missing, late, or inconsistent entries.
  • Process new hires, terminations, rate and status changes, and final pay in line with state requirements.
  • Apply benefit, retirement, and involuntary deductions, including garnishments, child support orders, and levies, per the order or plan terms.
  • Complete pre-payroll and post-payroll audits. Resolve variances before release and document corrections.
  • Process off-cycle payments, retro pay, and corrections, and handle multi-state employee withholding.

Compliance and Reporting
  • Apply federal, state, and local wage, hour, and tax requirements to payroll transactions.
  • Reconcile payroll tax deposits and support quarterly and year-end filings, including W-2 preparation, with the payroll provider and Accounting.
  • Work with federal, state, and local tax authorities to register and close payroll tax accounts, and keep tax codes and jurisdiction setup current in the payroll system.
  • Verify that workers' compensation class codes are set up correctly for each state and assigned to the right employees and job functions in the payroll system.
  • Reconcile payroll registers to the general ledger and support month-end close.
  • Support certified payroll and prevailing wage reporting on federal and public-sector projects, where applicable.
  • Respond to wage verifications, unemployment claims, and audit requests. Maintain payroll records to retention requirements.

Process Improvement and Analysis
  • Identify recurring errors, late inputs, and manual workarounds. Recommend and implement fixes to procedures, templates, and system settings.
  • Perform basic analysis of payroll data, such as overtime trends, error rates, and labor cost variances, and report findings to the Payroll Manager.
  • Maintain written desk procedures and the payroll calendar.
  • Test tax table updates, system releases, and year-end processes before go-live.
  • Employee and Stakeholder Support
