Payroll Assistant

We employ 3,600 people in stores, distribution centres and our support office. Private label products make up about a third of sales.

This role opened up after a team member moved internally. The Payroll Assistant runs biweekly payroll for about 900 employees in 12 states, hourly and salaried. Charlotte Mercantile uses ADP Workforce Now for payroll and timekeeping. You will own the process from timecard review to GL entry. The company is based in Charlotte, the US. The team is spread across multiple countries. This is a full-time remote role. We use an employer of record in Pakistan, so you get a proper employment contract, not a freelance agreement. Expect to work a schedule that overlaps with US Eastern business hours until about noon ET. Reliable internet and a power backup are a must.

Your responsibilities:

• Reconcile payroll registers to the general ledger each period.
• Administer wage garnishments, child support orders and tax levies.
• Answer employee questions about paychecks, withholding and direct deposit.
• Prepare payroll journal entries and accruals for accounting.
• Calculate final pay in line with state timing rules.
• Enter new hires, terminations, pay changes and deductions.
• Audit benefit deductions against carrier invoices.
• Process biweekly and weekly payroll in ADP Workforce Now.

What we're looking for:

• 1+ years of hands-on payroll processing, ideally multi-state.
• Strong Excel for reconciliations.
• High school diploma required; associate or bachelor's degree preferred.
• Discreet with confidential pay and personal data.
• Clear communicator with employees who are upset about their check.
• Experience with ADP, Paylocity, Paycom, UKG or Workday.

What you get:

• Two weeks of paid leave at year end.
• Health insurance through our employer-of-record partner.
• Annual team retreat.
• Performance bonus.
• Annual salary review.
