  • Maintain strict confidentiality when handling employee and payroll information

  • Document issues, resolutions, and progress throughout the cleanup process

  • Communicate clearly with payroll and HR leadership as needed regarding findings or risks

  • Follow established procedures and remain focused until the cleanup is fully completed


Required Qualifications

  • Hands-on Paycor experience is required

  • Prior experience supporting payroll, HR administration, or HRIS data management

  • Strong attention to detail and accuracy in data-heavy environments

  • Calm, steady demeanor with the ability to work effectively in a high-urgency situation

  • Comfortable working independently in a remote setting
