Payroll Specialist

CFS, Fresno, CA, United States

Salary max: $24.00

Duration: Full Time




Payroll Specialist
Location: Fresno, CA (Onsite)
Salary: $24 – $34/hour DOE


Join an organization where your work supports a large, mission-driven operation serving communities throughout the Central Valley. Our client is a long-established nonprofit organization with extensive regional reach, strong leadership tenure, and a people-first culture. This is a team where payroll accuracy, employee support, and consistency are highly valued.


This is more than a traditional payroll role. You’ll play a key part in processing high-volume payroll, supporting benefits administration, and helping ensure employees across multiple locations are paid accurately and on time.


The Opportunity


As a Payroll Specialist, you’ll manage payroll operations for a large employee population while partnering with finance and HR leadership. This role offers visibility, stability, and the opportunity to contribute within a structured organization.


What You’ll Do




  • Process bi-weekly payroll for a multi-location workforce of 1,500+ employees




  • Manage payroll data, deductions, garnishments, and employee changes




  • Support benefits reconciliation and payroll-related reporting




  • Assist with annual audits and payroll compliance documentation




  • Supervise one direct report and partner with internal departments as needed




What We’re Looking For




  • 3+ years of payroll experience in a high-volume environment




  • Experience with ADP Workforce Now or similar payroll systems preferred




  • Strong attention to detail and ability to meet strict deadlines




  • Accounting or nonprofit experience is a plus




Why This Role Stands Out




  • Stable organization with long-tenured leadership




  • Strong medical benefits and employer-paid pension plan




  • High-impact role supporting a large workforce




  • Opportunity to work closely with finance and HR leadership




  • Meaningful work within a mission-focused environment




If you’re looking for a role where you can own payroll operations, support employees, and contribute to a respected organization, this is a strong next step.
