Payroll and HR Coordinator
About the Opportunity
The Payroll and HR Coordinator will own accurate, timely and compliant payroll for hourly and salaried employees in Toronto, while also supporting broader HR functions. This is a hands-on, site-based role ideal for someone who thrives in a dynamic environment where accuracy, confidentiality, and employee experience are top priorities — and wants real visibility across both payroll and HR.
Key Responsibilities
- Process bi-weekly payroll for hourly and salaried employees, administering employee changes (new hires, terminations, leaves, benefits adjustments) and ensuring compliance with Ontario ESA, CRA, and WSIB requirements.
- Prepare payroll reconciliations, GL accruals, variance analyses, and year-end activities including T4s and taxable benefit calculations; maintain data integrity within the HRIS/payroll system.
- Coordinate full-cycle recruitment activities including postings, screening, interview scheduling, offer letters, and onboarding/orientation.
- Maintain accurate employee records, support HR reporting and compliance documentation, and respond to employee inquiries on payroll, benefits, and HR policies.
- Partner with site leadership and the broader HR team on performance review cycles, training, engagement initiatives, and process improvement efforts across payroll and HR.
What You Bring
- Diploma or Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, Accounting, or a related field.
- 3–5+ years of payroll experience supporting both hourly and salaried populations; mining, natural resources, or industrial experience is an asset.
- PCP designation preferred; working toward CPM or CHRP considered an asset.
- Strong working knowledge of Ontario ESA, CRA guidelines, and provincial payroll legislation, with hands-on HRIS/payroll system experience (including outsourced payroll models) and proficiency in Excel (v-lookups, pivot tables).
- High attention to detail, discretion with confidential information, and a collaborative, continuous-improvement mindset that works well across HR, Finance, and Operations.
