Payroll Associate

Job title: Payroll Associate

Job description: Start date: Immediate
Compensation Range: $23.00 – $28.00 per hour
Location: Remote
Work Arrangements available: Part-time

THE ROLE
Payroll Associates work within a standardized framework to process payroll, perform related calculations and reconciliations, and provide assistance on ESA-related HR matters for their assigned clients from our roster of 50+ payroll clients. No two days are alike! Clients are mostly based in Toronto, but we work 100% remotely.

Tasks include processing net pays, making calculations related to raises, bonuses and retro pay, processing new hires and terminations, issuing ROEs, setting up and maintaining taxable benefits and deductions, benefits administration, union dues calculations and communicating with clients.

This is a payroll-focused position but because we are a bookkeeping company you will have the opportunity to broaden your skill set and vary your responsibilities by undertaking bookkeeping clients as well — training provided in-house.

Requirements: WHAT YOU BRING
It’s all about fit. We’re looking for an enthusiastic team member who puts their heart into the job. You will have some personal connection to the arts, culture or the nonprofit world, plus an affinity for numbers, systems and order. As a team, we value efficient, reliable work backed up by strong accounting and sectoral knowledge. In our client relationships, we prioritize a collaborative and ethical approach.

Technical proficiency:

• We’re looking for an aptitude for and commitment to this type of work, demonstrated by payroll work history; and/or a credential in payroll.
• We provide training, but we expect you to walk through the door with a working knowledge of computerized payroll systems evidenced by employment history or completed courses using spreadsheets (e.g. Excel, Google Sheets) and one or more apps (e.g. Wagepoint, Ceridian, ADP).

Professional qualities:

• You are a communicator and you enjoy sharing your knowledge and expertise. Customer service is a big part of this job. It’s more than just deskwork! We’re looking for demonstrated ability to communicate clearly and concisely, verbally and in writing, in English.
• You take pride in your own work product, but also enjoy collaborating with your clients and your fellow employees to achieve organizational excellence.
• You are able to manage your time. Within a flexible work environment, you can prioritize concurrent tasks, meet deadlines, and seek help from / offer help to team members when needed, to handle volume.
• You are a self-starter. You enjoy working independently, and you’re also willing and able to ask for assistance or direction when you need it.
• You are a problem-solver. You can identify and assess issues and prepare effective client-focused solutions. This includes proactively recognizing potential for improving processes and services.
• You are a life-long learner. You relish the opportunities for continuing professional education that come with this job.
• You must be able to keep client matters strictly confidential.
• Payroll Compliance Practitioner (PCP) certification is an asset.

Availability:

• Must be available on Mondays for payroll processing.
