- Collaborate with Payroll and HR Operations to maintain compliance with pay, tax, and reporting obligations
- Conduct internal audits and maintain accurate records to reduce risk and support reporting requirements

- Drive initiatives that make compliance not just a requirement, but part of our culture of fairness and integrity
What We’re Looking For
- 5+ years of HR compliance, employee relations, or background screening experience
