Collaborate closely with HRIS, Finance, and IT teams to support integrations, reconciliations, system upgrades, and data integrity across payroll and benefits
Producing recurring and ad hoc reporting on payroll accuracy, remittances, benefits utilization, workforce costs, compliance trends, and audit outcomes to inform decision-making across HR and Finance
Maintaining audit-ready documentation and coordinating responses for internal and external audits, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and compliance with control requirements and statutory obligations
Identifying operational inefficiencies and enhancing internal controls, SOPs, workflows, and reference tools in alignment with National Payroll Institute (NPI) best practices and organizational standards
Investigating and resolving payroll discrepancies, compliance issues, data anomalies, and escalated employee or manager inquiries in collaboration with HR, Finance, IT, and external vendors
Providing strategic oversight of benefits administration, including eligibility accuracy, carrier coordination, and alignment with collective agreement entitlements and provincial regulations
