About the Role
SBS Creatix is partnering with our client to place a Senior Payroll Specialist in their St. Louis operations.

This role goes beyond pushing buttons on payday. You’ll own compliance across payroll regulations, serve as a go‑to resource for employees with payroll questions, and bring the kind of attention to detail that catches issues before they become problems. If you’ve got the experience and you take pride in getting payroll right, we want to talk to you.

Process and monitor garnishment orders, wage attachments, and other items that affect payroll specifications
Maintain and document all payroll records to audit‑ready standards
Conduct semi‑annual audits of all payroll records to ensure ongoing accuracy
Reconcile payroll prior to transmission and validate confirmed reports
Reconcile the general ledger with regard to payroll transactions
Detect and resolve issues related to uncollected payroll
What You Bring
Hands‑on experience with payroll processing and wage attachment – this isn’t your first rodeo
Undergraduate degree in Accounting preferred (equivalent experience considered)
Strong proficiency in Microsoft Office, particularly Word and Excel
Excellent organizational skills and a head for numbers
Familiarity with Windows‑based computer programs and payroll platforms
Knowledge of federal, state, and local payroll tax regulations
Ability to handle sensitive information with discretion and maintain confidentiality
A service‑first mindset – employees will come to you with questions, and you’ll handle them with patience and accuracy
Experience with multi‑state payroll processing
Familiarity with Paychex, Paylocity, or similar enterprise payroll platforms
Background in general ledger reconciliation and payroll auditing
Experience processing payroll for a large‑scale financial services organization
Why SBS Creatix?
