Shape a seamless pay experience in Georgetown, KY

Imagine starting your day reviewing timecards, validating earnings and deductions, and teeing up a smooth biweekly payroll run. Midday, you partner with HR to correct a new hire’s tax setup, answer an employee’s question about benefits deductions, and fine-tune a payroll report for leadership. By afternoon, you reconcile payroll liabilities, finalize submissions, and document everything to keep us audit-ready. That’s a typical day for our Payroll Operations & Compliance Specialist.
