Who We Are

You know those big cities that still feel like small towns? Where everyone’s friendly and helps each other out? That’s like Doane Grant Thornton.

We employ about 3000 people across Canada, and we truly care about our colleagues, our clients and the communities where we work and live. That’s what’s most important to us. We’re building a thriving organization that’s purpose driven and still want to remember what your favourite milkshake flavour is.

As a Payroll Specialist your responsibilities will include:

Review and process remittance and reporting for Worker’s compensation for all provinces.
Assist and validate the calculation and remittance of payroll deductions and contributions to various government agencies and other pre-/post-payroll processing activities.
Assist as needed with payroll month-end and year-end activities, government surveys, remittance tracking, reporting and reconciliations.
Audit data in HRIS and the payroll system to ensure data integrity and compliance with legislation, policies and programs and verify that the required documentation and approvals are in place and that employee files are complete.
Monitor the National Payroll email inbox and Workday Help case management, respond to inquiries from colleagues and stakeholders.
Assist senior team members with more complex work and with special projects and other responsibilities as required.
