benefit funds.\nCollective bargaining agreements: Interpret CBAs to ensure accurate union deductions, employer contributions, and fund reporting.\nPayroll tax compliance: Partner with ADP to reconcile tax liabilities, review filings, and research and resolve federal, state, and local agency notices.\n Payroll accounting: Reconcile payroll-related GL accounts (wages, taxes, benefit deductions, employer contributions) and prepare journal entries.\nQuarter- and year-end: Support W-2 reconciliations, tax reporting, and annual audits.\nSystems and reporting: Use ADP Workforce Now to maintain payroll records, build reports, and research discrepancies.\nGo-to resource: Answer payroll questions from employees, union representatives, Finance, HR, and government agencies.\nContinuous improvement: Find ways to tighten internal controls and make payroll processes faster and more accurate.\nWhat You Bring\n3+ years of hands-on payroll experience (as a payroll analyst, specialist, administrator, or accountant), including reconciliations and tax compliance.\nExperience with union payroll-calculating and reporting benefit fund contributions and working from collective bargaining agreements.\nExperience reconciling payroll taxes and resolving agency notices in a multi-state environment.\nWorking knowledge of payroll accounting, including GL reconciliations and journal entries.\nStrong Excel skills (lookups, pivot tables) for reconciling accounts and preparing reports.\nA detail-oriented, deadline-driven approach and the ability to juggle multiple payrolls and filing deadlines.\nClear communication skills and sound discretion with confidential employee and financial information.\nNice to Have\nADP Workforce Now experience (strongly preferred-experience with UKG, Paylocity, Paycom, Workday, or a similar platform transfers well).\nExperience with multiple union agreements and benefit funds.\nPayroll experience for a large, multi-state workforce.\nCPP or FPC payroll certification.\nNth Degree is an equal opportunity employer committed to equal consideration for all qualified applicants regardless of race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation,
