From day‑to‑day execution to moments of transition or transformation, Skillcloud acts as an extension of the team to keep people operations running smoothly. Partnership is central to how we deliver value.

The Senior Payroll Specialist supports accurate, compliant, and timely payroll delivery for clients by handling more complex payroll scenarios and serving as a knowledgeable resource for the payroll team. This role builds on the Payroll Specialist position by managing higher‑complexity payroll work, assisting with audits and reconciliations, and supporting issue resolution and quality review. The Senior Payroll Specialist partners closely with Payroll Client Managers and internal teams to ensure consistent payroll execution and strong client outcomes.

Opportunity for a flexible full time hybrid work schedule
Comprehensive benefit package and robust paid time off program
Paid SHRM membership
Access to a team and library of resources, tools and technology to help you be successful
Salary in the range of $78,000-95,000

Client Support & Communication
Provide advanced payroll support to clients by responding to payroll inquiries, explaining payroll results, and assisting with issue resolution in coordination with Payroll Client Managers.
Payroll Processing & Review
Process and support complex payrolls, including multi‑state, off‑cycle, and adjusted payrolls. Review payroll data for accuracy, completeness, and compliance prior to submission.
Payroll Issue Resolution
Research and resolve more complex payroll discrepancies, historical adjustments, and corrections. Escalate higher‑risk issues as appropriate and support root‑cause analysis.
Compliance Support & Auditing
Assist with payroll audits, register reviews, and compliance checks to ensure adherence to federal, state, and local payroll regulations. Support implementation of regulatory updates.
Payroll Tax & Reporting Support
Support quarterly and year‑end payroll activities, including W‑2s, 1099s, amended filings, and agency correspondence, under the direction of payroll leadership.
Data Integrity & System Support
Maintain accurate payroll system data, including earnings, deductions, tax configurations, and employee records. Assist with testing and validation related to system updates or integrations.
Benefits & Deductions Administration
Support administration and reconciliation of payroll deductions, including garnishments, retirement contributions, and benefit premiums.
Reporting & Analysis
Generate and review payroll reports to identify discrepancies, trends, or issues. Assist in preparing client‑requested and internal payroll reports.
Team Support & Knowledge Sharing
Serve as a peer resource for Payroll Specialists by answering questions, sharing best practices, and supporting consistent payroll processes.
Process Improvement
Contribute to payroll process improvements, documentation updates, and quality controls to increase efficiency and accuracy.
Internal Collaboration
Work closely with Payroll Client Managers, HCM, HR, and Data Services teams to support integrated client service delivery.

Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Accounting, or a related field preferred
3–6 years of payroll processing or payroll administration experience
Strong working knowledge of payroll laws, tax regulations, and compliance requirements
Experience supporting multi‑state payrolls and complex payroll scenarios
Experience with payroll systems and HCM/HRIS platforms
