Description

Who we are

You know those big cities that still feel like small towns? Where everyone's friendly and helps each other out? That's like Grant Thornton.

Except here we're all professionals and there isn't a mayor or a general store.

What we're trying to say is that we're a large and growing professional services firm that still feels like a community.

We employ over 3000 people across Canada, and we truly care about our colleagues, our clients and the communities where we work and live.

That's what's most important to us. We're building a thriving organization that's purpose driven and still want to remember what your favourite milkshake flavour is.

As a Payroll Specialist your responsibilities will include:

Process full cycle of semi-monthly payroll in ADP Workforce Now (WFN) including, time entry and uploads, status changes, various leave payments, year-to-date adjustments, termination pay and ROE issuance
Review, validate and process various benefit and compensation files including, leave benefits and RRSP plan reporting
Review and process remittance and reporting for Worker's compensation for all provinces
Assist and validate the calculation and remittance of payroll deductions and contributions to various government agencies and other pre/postpayroll processing activities
Assist as needed with payroll monthend and yearend activities, government surveys, remittance tracking, reporting and reconciliations
Audit data in HRIS and the payroll system to ensure data integrity and compliance with legislation, policies and programs and verify that the required documentation and approvals are in place and that employee files are complete
