Key Responsibilities

Payroll Operations

  • Validate timesheets, schedules, and electronic visit verification (EVV) records to ensure accurate compensation.

  • Maintain compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), wage and hour regulations, overtime rules, and healthcare-specific pay requirements.

  • Accurately process shift differentials, on-call pay, hazard pay, and union agreements (if applicable).

  • Monitor garnishments, benefits deductions, direct deposits, and tax withholdings.

Compliance & Audit

  • Ensure payroll processes comply with federal, state, and local regulations, including Medicaid/Medicare reimbursement requirements where applicable.

  • Prepare and file all payroll-related tax reports and ensure accuracy in W-2, W-4, 1099, and other statutory filings.

  • Lead internal and external payroll audits, ensuring timely resolution of discrepancies and compliance with audit standards.

  • Keep current with legislation affecting payroll, including IRS guidelines, Department of Labor updates, and healthcare wage compliance (e.g., minimum wage mandates, live-in caregiver pay rules).

Collaboration & Leadership

  • Partner with HR on employee life-cycle changes (new hires, transfers, promotions, terminations, and leave of absence management).

  • Serve as the main point of contact for employee payroll inquiries, resolving issues promptly while maintaining a high level of customer service.

Process Improvement & Systems Management

  • Oversee payroll systems and HRIS platforms; recommend and implement system upgrades, integrations, and automation tools.

  • Develop and refine standard operating procedures (SOPs) to ensure consistency, scalability, and efficiency.

  • Identify opportunities for streamlining payroll processes, reducing errors, and enhancing employee experience.

  • Produce regular and ad hoc reports on payroll trends, compliance, and workforce costs for leadership decision-making.

​

Requirements

Skills and Qualifications

  • Minimum of 4+ years of progressive payroll management experience, with at least 2 years in healthcare, homecare, or another service-oriented industry.

  • Strong knowledge of multi-state payroll processing, healthcare labor laws, wage/hour compliance, and union contract administration.

  • Experience with Medicaid/Medicare-related payroll compliance and EVV systems strongly preferred.

  • Proficiency with payroll and HRIS systems (e.g., ADP, Paycom, Paychex, or equivalent), along with advanced Excel skills (pivot tables, VLOOKUP, data validation).

  • Demonstrated leadership skills, with proven ability to manage and develop payroll staff.

  • Exceptional analytical skills, attention to detail, and ability to work under tight deadlines.

  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to work cross-functionally and provide excellent service to employees and leadership.
