Technical Skills

Hands-on experience with Canadian year-end payroll, including T4 and Relevé 1 (RL-1) preparation and verification.

2-4 years of HR experience with direct payroll involvement (we’re open to strong candidates on either end of that range).

Some accounting background or experience.

Demonstrated knowledge and understanding of labour standards in Quebec.

In-depth knowledge of labour laws and human resources regulations.

Experience with HRIS and payroll platforms (e.g., Nethris, Rippling, ADP, BambooHR).

Ability to take initiative, work independently, and collaborate effectively within a cross-functional squad.

Excellent multitasking capabilities.

Comfortable wearing multiple hats in a growing startup, where priorities and tasks can shift as the company evolves.
