The Opportunity
If you’re a payroll professional who takes pride in precision, thrives on structure, and wants real ownership — this is the kind of role that builds careers.
We’re partnering with a growing national retail organization that continues to expand while others scale back. They’re looking for a Payroll Specialist who can confidently run weekly payroll for 300+ employees using ADP Workforce Now.
This is not a “support” role. You’ll be trusted to own the process, manage commissions, ensure compliance, and act as the go-to resource for payroll questions.
Why This Opportunity Is Different:
True Ownership – You’ll run the full payroll cycle, not just assist.
Growth-Focused Company – Expansion is ongoing, creating long-term stability and internal mobility.
Leadership Access – Direct reporting to payroll leadership with visibility and impact.
Commission Complexity – Gain valuable experience managing variable compensation in a multi-location retail environment.
Stability + Structure – Established systems, defined processes, and a clear reporting line.
This is ideal for someone who wants stability — but also wants to keep growing.

- Run weekly payroll for 300+ employees using ADP Workforce Now
- Process and validate timecards and commission payments
- Ensure payroll accuracy, tax compliance, and garnishment calculations

What We’re Looking For
Experience - 2+ years of full-cycle payroll processing
- Experience managing payroll for 300+ employees

Technical Skills - Strong proficiency in ADP Workforce Now
- Knowledge of Canadian payroll legislation and statutory deductions
- Intermediate Microsoft Excel skills
Education / Certifications - PCP designation (asset)
- Post-secondary education in Payroll, HR, or Accounting (asset)
What Will Set You Apart - Exceptional attention to detail
- Ability to manage tight weekly deadlines
- High level of discretion and professionalism
- Strong communication skills
Compensation & Work Model
- Competitive compensation (based on experience)
- Full benefits package (medical, dental, vision, life insurance)
- Employee assistance program
- Industry discounts
- Permanent, full-time position
- Onsite: Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Location & Travel
