Payroll Specialist
Ace Parking, San Diego, CA, United States
The Payroll Specialist serves as the strategic and operational partner to the Director of Payroll, providing advanced technical, compliance, and analytical support. This project-focused role is designed for a highly self‑directed professional who thrives with minimal supervision and concentrates on system optimization, regulatory compliance, and payroll accuracy. The position plays a critical role in supporting the implementation and maintenance of UKG Dimensions/WFM Pro, ensuring tax and labor law compliance across multiple jurisdictions, and strengthening internal controls through auditing and reporting. The role requires deep expertise in payroll systems configuration, multi‑state tax reconciliation, and labor law interpretation—particularly California regulations. Acting as a key resource for high‑level initiatives, the analyst manages complex system mapping for union contracts and statutory requirements, conducts audits using UKG Business Intelligence, oversees GL reporting and posting, and provides leadership continuity as the Director’s primary backup. Additionally, the position proactively monitors legislative updates, translating new payroll laws into system adjustments to maintain ongoing compliance and operational efficiency. This is a project‑heavy role for a self‑starter who works well with minimal supervision.
