Crosstraining in payroll will be provided to enable backup for payroll processing and to act as a secondary contact for day-to-day inquiries.

This position is full-time, year-round, with steady biweekly, monthly and quarterly rhythms as well as shifting priorities throughout the year, such as assisting with budget preparation, the annual outside audit, and other special projects that arise.
