Supporting the HR Manager on employee relations matters and documentation
Benefits enrollment, open enrollment, and leave administration (PFL, Disability, ACA)

HR compliance, recordkeeping, handbook updates, and mandatory training tracking
Quarterly staff scheduling, including rotating Saturday coverage
Headcount, turnover, and retention reporting
What we're looking for:

Proven independent payroll processing experience
Demonstrated full-cycle recruiting ownership
