Senior Payroll Consultant Jobs

This position allows remote support while living anywhere in the US.

A day in the life of a PayTech Senior Payroll Consultant:

Our client’s payroll manager has just given two weeks’ notice and they need a highly skilled person to backfill the role as soon as possible, until a replacement has been hired. The client needs someone to hit the ground running so ADP and/or Ceridian and/or UKG expertise is critical.

That person is YOU, and you may be initially on-site with the client or engaged virtually, ready to save the day starting Monday morning. You spend the next two weeks (don’t worry if you are on-site those initial two weeks, you will fly home each Thursday evening or Friday) learning the payroll manager’s role and developing documentation as you learn it.

During your time at the client, you are tapping into your vast payroll experience, and ideally, your FPC or CPP certification, to provide technical expertise to deliver quality and timely payrolls in their challenging environment. Your ability to get into the details and process the payroll independently is critical and your management experience allows you to delegate workload to other processors and motivate them to meet departmental goals. Your client appreciates that you have experience with year-end preparation, union contracts, and resolving complicated payroll tax notices.

Throughout your time supporting the client, your broad and deep payroll expertise allows you to compare payroll best practices to client practices, and you’ll document suggested process improvements and metrics via Weekly Status Reports using Microsoft Word to communicate them to the client.

Your professional and tactful communication skills will not only be demonstrated in written form but are critical to verbal conversations required to communicate within every level of the client’s organizational structure. Your work will be of such high quality and efficiency standards, that our client extends your engagement to six months as they find the perfect candidate. Of course, the client really wants to hire you on full-time, but they can’t because there are other clients who need your expertise!

This is just one of the many scenarios in which our Senior Payroll Consultants assist and provide their expertise to our clients! If this sounds like the next step in your payroll career, check out our full job description for additional details.

These are full-time W-2 positions. In addition to a competitive salary, we offer a comprehensive benefits package, bonus potential, and the opportunity for training and advancement. Travel on engagements is dependent on the needs of the client and can vary from engagement to engagement.
