Job Description

Insight Global is looking for a payroll and benefits specialist. The ideal candidate will be responsible for the following



3-4 month project cleaning up tax fallouts, tax jurisdiction registrations, POA's, SUI registrations and rate updates, amendments to prior quarter tax filing, some Workers' Comp support as needed

UKG payroll/tax experience required (I'd like to start with only considering temps who have experience with UKG (formally UltiPro) payroll tax reconciliation, then expand to other payroll system experience if needed)

General experience reconciling and supporting tax registrations, tax code setup for missing or inactive tax codes, with preferred understanding of Cognos BI reporting/analytics

Audit and reconcile company tax code setup in UKG payroll system against the UKG payment services company master profile

Run tax fallout, collections, and liability reports to identify list of jurisdictions for clean-up

Partner with UKG payment services team to complete new tax code setup in payroll system for multiple location taxes and resident taxes; configure TPAs if needed

Register new jurisdictions with the respective agencies (SIT/SUI)

Update SUI rates in payroll system

Audit and ensure all tax agencies are properly setup with account numbers and ensure active POAs with UKG payment services are in place (create new POAs or renew if needed)

Open payment services cases to initiate amendments for prior quarter/year tax liability against new tax codes and jurisdictions

Manage/monitor open UKG case log and follow up payment services team for all tax related cases

Open/review all tax notices and determine resolution

Keep log of all tax accounts, login information, status of tax accounts, etc.

Call respective agencies as needed to ensure accounts are setup properly

Monitor tax liability against collections balance sheets as amendments and filings are completed

Reconcile negative wage reports if needed

Audit work and tax location setup for all active employees and 2023 term

Determine if payroll adjustments are needed to employee records due to tax jurisdiction corrections

Partner with local Finance team as needed for reconciliation of payroll taxes and payments to respective agencies

Audit/support Workers' Comp setup and payments for states not supported by corporate WC insurer (ex: Ohio, Washington, NY)

Preference would be to have this person on-site/otherwise this position can be completely remote since all of our notices are electronic. However, their may be a situation where we need an "ink to paper" signature for POA/Registrations but I can do that when I'm in the office as needed.

it would be ideal if the candidate has not only experience with UKG but also supporting tax registration/POA's and filings/amendments across multiple states and local jurisdictions.
