• Maintain working knowledge of federal and state employment laws (FLSA, FMLA, ADA, EEO, etc.) and ensure ongoing compliance in HR practices.
• Contribute to the development of HR policies, programs, and procedures that align with company values and evolving business needs.

• Bilingual (English/Spanish) preferred.
