Our client is looking for a detail-oriented, proactive HR & Payroll Coordinator to join their team on a contract-to-hire basis! Sitting on the HR team and partnering closely with Finance and Payroll, you will play a critical role in ensuring that all HR-driven changes are accurately captured and reflected in payroll. If you thrive in a hands-on environment where you can build structure, improve manual processes, and make an immediate impact, this is the opportunity for you. Key Responsibilities - Payroll & HR Data Management: Own and process HR updates impacting payroll, including thorough review, data validation, and pre-payroll cross-checking. - Lifecycle Administration: Manage end-to-end payroll updates, including onboarding, manager changes, compensation increases, and offboarding/terminations. - Complex Pay Impacts: Handle leave management impacts (understanding pay, tax, and withholding implications) and support seamless handoffs for severance processing. - Process Improvement: Navigate manual tracking and limited system integrations, document processes as you learn them, and champion continuous operational improvements. - HR Support: Assist with general HR coordination tasks, such as managing team inbox inquiries and cross-functional administrative duties. Qualifications - System Expertise: Hands-on experience with UKG / UltiPro (Required / Top Priority); experience with SAP SuccessFactors (Strong Preference) and BambooHR (Nice to Have). - Payroll Acumen: Demonstrated background in payroll processing - knowing how to run payroll, rather than just performing basic data entry. - HR-to-Payroll Bridge: Solid understanding of how HR actions (leaves, status updates, pay adjustments) flow into payroll systems. - Accuracy & Accountability: Highly detail-oriented with a strong sense of ownership, comfortable working in a process-heavy, semi-manual environment. - Communication: Exceptional communication skills with the ability to ask questions, raise flags early, and collaborate smoothly across HR and Finance. Key Details - Compensation: $30.00/hr - Benefits: Our consultants are eligible to enroll in benefits such as medical, dental, and vision. - Location: Chicago, IL - Work Model: 2 days on-site (typically Tues/Thurs) - Employment Type: Contract-to-Hire Why Apply? This is a high-visibility, 90-day temp-to-hire opportunity with a growing organization that values problem-solvers who take ownership of their work.
