Union HR & Payroll Manager - City Personnel : Job Details

We are seeking a highly organized and detail-oriented Union HR & Payroll Manager to take full ownership of all HR administrative and union payroll processes for a respected organization.

Key Responsibilities of the Union HR/Payroll Manager:

• Manage end-to-end union payroll processing, ensuring accuracy and timeliness of all pay cycles
• Administer HR processes including employee onboarding, offboarding, and benefits administration
• Maintain accurate employee records, time tracking, deductions, and union dues in compliance with collective bargaining agreements
• Serve as the point of contact for payroll discrepancies, benefit issues, and HR policy clarifications
• Support audit preparation, payroll reporting, and internal reviews in coordination with the Controller
• Ensure compliance with federal, state, and local labor laws and union regulations
• Analyze and improve existing payroll and HR procedures to enhance efficiency and accuracy

Qualifications of the Union HR/Payroll Manager:

• Minimum of 5 years of hands-on experience in HR and union payroll processing
• Strong understanding of collective bargaining agreements and union reporting requirements
• Excellent attention to detail, critical thinking, and organizational skills
• Proficiency in payroll software systems and Microsoft Office (especially Excel)
