• Administer vacation tracking for hourly employees — balances, payouts, carryovers, and reconciliations — and prepare quarterly reporting as required. 
• Answer employee and supervisor questions on pay, timekeeping, overtime, and UKG use, and train them through system upgrades and process changes. 
• Maintain employee records, payroll procedures, and local process controls, protecting the confidentiality and security of employee, payroll, and benefits information. 
• Escalate complex payroll or system issues to the HR Analytics Lead or Corporate Payroll, support system testing and upgrades, and help standardize payroll processes across Canadian plants. 

Site IT Coordination (~35%) 

• Act as the on-site point for end-user computing: deployment, setup, imaging, replacement, and recovery of laptops, desktops, printers, mobile devices, and peripherals, plus IT asset inventory, lifecycle records, and periodic audits reconciled to corporate records. 
• Provide first-line troubleshooting for hardware, software, printing, access, and connectivity issues, including plant applications such as Ignition, Proficy, Aspen, I-POP, and Avigilon; log, track, and escalate through the Corporate IT Service Desk. 
• Coordinate IT equipment, software, and account access for new hires, transfers, and separations, in line with established approval and security procedures. 
• Coordinate telephony and network requests, including Cisco and analog moves and changes, with Corporate IT and external providers. 
• Follow corporate cybersecurity and acceptable-use requirements, and promptly report suspected security incidents, lost equipment, or unauthorized access. 

Education and Experience

• Three or more years of payroll and timekeeping administration, including responsibility for pay-cycle deadlines.

• Strong customer-service orientation, with the ability to explain payroll and technical matters clearly to employees and leaders. 
• Ability to work independently while collaborating with remote payroll, HR, and technical teams; proficient with Outlook, Excel, Word, and Teams.
