• Manage employee relations matters and support workplace investigations, including employee concerns, interviews, documentation, findings and appropriate follow-up, while identifying recurring issues and recommending practical solutions to leadership.
• Support recruiting and staffing across hourly and salaried positions, including job postings, applicant screening, interviews, offers, pre-employment requirements and onboarding, while working with operational leaders on difficult-to-fill and high-turnover positions.
• Oversee day-to-day employee lifecycle administration across new hires, promotions, transfers, compensation changes, leaves, terminations, HRIS records, I-9 documentation and offboarding, while maintaining accurate and confidential employee records.
• Support HR compliance, benefits, leaves and workers’ compensation activities while providing manager and employee support around wage and hour requirements, accommodations, workplace policies, return-to-work processes and required HR documentation.
• Support manager training, employee engagement and retention initiatives and maintain reporting around staffing, turnover, recruiting, attendance and employee relations to help leadership identify workforce trends and operational needs.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of progressive HR experience with strong employee relations and manager-support experience
• Working knowledge of federal and state employment laws and core HR practices
• Experience supporting hourly employees and frontline managers in restaurant, hospitality, retail, manufacturing, distribution or another operational environment preferred
