Ensure all payroll remittances and filings are completed accurately and within required deadlines.
Identify compliance risks and implement appropriate corrective actions.

UKG Pro & Workforce Management

Serve as the organization’s payroll subject matter expert for UKG Pro and UKG Workforce Management (WFM).
Maintain and optimize UKG payroll configuration, including earnings and deduction codes, taxation, pay rules, employee data, workflows, and related payroll functionality.
Manage and optimize UKG WFM/timekeeping integrations to ensure accurate transfer of employee hours and payroll data.
Troubleshoot complex payroll, timekeeping, configuration, integration, and data issues and determine appropriate resolutions.

Partner with HR, IT, Finance, UKG, and other vendors on system upgrades, enhancements, integrations, configuration changes, and technical issues.
Lead user acceptance testing (UAT), parallel testing, data validation, defect resolution, and implementation readiness for payroll system changes.
Evaluate existing payroll processes and systems and recommend improvements that reduce manual work, minimize risk, and improve employee and management experience.
Maintain appropriate documentation for system configuration, processes, integrations, controls, and business continuity.

Reporting, Analytics & Financial Controls

Develop and analyze payroll reports supporting payroll validation, labour-cost analysis, headcount reporting, tax remittances, financial reconciliation, and management decision-making.
Partner with Finance on payroll accounting, payroll-to-GL reconciliations, accruals, variance analysis, budgeting, and forecasting.
Investigate payroll discrepancies and data issues and implement sustainable corrective actions.
Maintain strong audit trails and documentation to support internal and external audits.

Stakeholder Management

Act as a senior point of contact for payroll-related inquiries and escalations from employees, managers, executives, auditors, government agencies, and other stakeholders.

Experience with unionized payroll and collective agreements is an asset.
Advanced Microsoft Excel skills, including PivotTables, XLOOKUP/VLOOKUP, complex formulas, data analysis, and reconciliations.

Strong leadership, communication, relationship-building, and stakeholder-management skills.
Ability to work effectively with HR, Finance, IT, Operations, senior leadership, UKG, and external vendors.
