**Payroll Specialist (Financial Services) — Edmonton, AB**

**About the role**
We’re looking for a detail-obsessed Payroll Specialist to own end-to-end payroll for a growing financial services team in Edmonton. You’ll ensure every cycle is timely, compliant, and accurate—supporting salaried and hourly employees across multiple provinces.

What you’ll do
- Process full-cycle, multi-province payroll (bi-weekly/semimonthly), including new hires, terminations, and changes.
- Prepare and reconcile payroll journal entries; resolve variances with Finance/Accounting.
- Administer statutory remittances (CPP/QPP, EI, income tax) and complete PD7A filings on schedule.
- Issue and reconcile ROEs, T4/T4A slips, and year-end adjustments.
- Maintain and audit employee records, timesheets, and accruals (vacation, sick, overtime).
- Set up and manage garnishments, taxable benefits, WCB (AB) reporting, and pension/RRSP/DPSP contributions.
- Serve as the first point of contact for payroll inquiries; deliver clear, confidential support.
- Partner with HR on benefits, leaves, onboarding, and policy updates.
- Monitor compliance with CRA guidelines, Alberta Employment Standards, and internal controls.
- Identify process improvements; document SOPs and support system upgrades.

What you bring
- 2-4+ years of recent Canadian payroll experience, ideally in financial services or a regulated environment.
- Strong working knowledge of CRA rules, provincial employment standards (with emphasis on Alberta), and year-end reporting.
- Hands-on experience with one or more payroll/HCM systems (e.g., ADP Workforce Now, Dayforce, UKG, Workday, QuickBooks, SAP).
- Intermediate Excel skills (lookups, pivots) and high data accuracy.
- Comfortable with high-volume cycles and strict deadlines.
- Professional discretion and a customer-service mindset.
- PCP designation (National Payroll Institute) or progress toward it an asset; CPM is a plus.
- Eligibility to work in Canada.

Why you’ll love working here
- Impactful role that owns the paycheck experience for the entire organization.
- Collaborative, values-driven team with strong mentorship and growth opportunities.
- Benefits package, wellness supports, paid time off, and professional development reimbursement.
- Hybrid work model (Edmonton-based) with modern tools and automation.

Work arrangement
- **Location**: Edmonton, Alberta (hybrid; on-site days for key cycle tasks and team meetings).
- **Hours**: Full-time, Monday-Friday.

Pay: From $26.50 per hour

**Benefits**:

- Paid time off
- RRSP match
