About this role
Billion Automotive is seeking a detail-oriented Payroll Processor to support accurate and timely payroll processing for employees across multiple dealership locations and related companies.
This position is responsible for reviewing payroll information, processing employee pay, maintaining payroll records, researching discrepancies, and ensuring payroll changes are entered accurately and on time. The Payroll Processor works closely with Accounting, Human Resources, managers, and employees and must be comfortable handling confidential information and working under firm payroll deadlines.
Accuracy matters in this role. The successful candidate will be organized, dependable, comfortable working with numbers, and willing to research discrepancies rather than simply process information that does not look correct.

- Review employee time records, earnings, deductions, commissions, bonuses, reimbursements, and other payroll adjustments before payroll is finalized.
- Enter and maintain payroll-related employee information, including new hires, terminations, compensation changes, deductions, direct deposit information, and other authorized changes.
- Review payroll reports for unusual amounts, missing information, duplicate payments, or other discrepancies.
- Research and correct payroll discrepancies promptly.
- Reconcile payroll totals and related reports before and after payroll processing.
- Maintain accurate payroll records and supporting documentation.
- Process garnishments, benefit deductions, and other authorized employee deductions as assigned.
- Assist with payroll-related reporting and accounting reconciliations.
- Respond professionally to employee and manager payroll questions.
- Coordinate with Human Resources and dealership management to obtain missing or corrected payroll information.
- Maintain strict confidentiality of employee compensation, Social Security numbers, banking information, and other sensitive payroll data.
- Assist with year-end payroll activities, including review and preparation of W-2 information.
- Identify payroll process problems and recommend improvements that reduce errors and manual work.
- Maintain organized documentation that provides a clear audit trail for payroll changes and adjustments.
- Provide backup support for other payroll and accounting functions as needed.
- Perform other accounting and administrative duties as assigned.
