This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced HR professional to work in a challenging and collaborative environment.

WHY YOU’LL WANT TO WORK WITH US

We ask a lot of our people, so we try to give a lot in return. In addition to a competitive salary, we think you’ll love these other benefits of working at Hamilton Duncan:

  • Health and wellness: Take care of yourself and your family with our comprehensive benefits plan that includes extended medical, dental, vision, critical illness and life insurance coverages, as well as an employee assistance program for those trying times. Sick leave days ensure that you don’t choose between your health and your income.
  • Location: Get to work quickly thanks to our highly accessible office location (directly adjacent to the Gateway SkyTrain station).
  • Additional comforts: Enjoy coming to work in jeans every Friday, leaving an hour early before long weekends and all summer weekends, and socializing with your colleagues at our regular social functions (health guidelines permitting).

  • Records: Maintaining employee files; maintaining and updating the firm’s HRIS database regarding attendance, vacation, sick leave and personal day accruals.
  • Payroll: Reviewing and approving payroll in conjunction with the Payroll Clerk.
  • Benefits Administration: Ensuring that personnel are enrolled in and familiar with the firm’s group benefits program; assisting with benefits-related issues for employees; liaising with our group benefits carrier; oversight of the firm’s self-managed benefits or programs.
