- Maintain accurate, synced employee and compensation data across HRIS, payroll, and benefits systems, and generate regular headcount, cost, and leave reporting
- Respond to employee payroll and benefits inquiries promptly and professionally, escalating complex issues to the Payroll & Benefits Lead when needed
