- Support accommodations, leaves of absence and return-to-work processes in partnership with the appropriate teams.
- Where applicable, support collective agreement interpretation, grievance management and union relationships.
- Apply policies and applicable employment requirements consistently, escalating complex matters with recommendations.
Hands-On HR Delivery
- Personally prepare, review and process employment documentation, employee changes, correspondence and other day-to-day HR requirements.
- Ensure employee records, HR systems and supporting documentation are accurate, complete and maintained promptly.
- Respond to employee and manager inquiries and follow through on outstanding HR matters.
- Partner with Talent Acquisition, Payroll, Benefits and operational teams to coordinate employee changes and resolve issues.
- Balance improvement initiatives with daily service demands, ensuring transactional work is completed accurately and on time.
