  • Designing a flexible and distributed electrical grid

The Role

SPAN.io is looking for a detail-oriented Payroll Specialist to ensure our U.S. payroll is

executed with 100% accuracy and compliance. This role is far more than data entry; you will be

the technical lead for Workday payroll auditing, the subject matter expert for Leave of Absence

(LOA) pay outcomes, and a key partner in reconciling our complex benefits landscape.

You will work closely with our HR and Finance teams, as well as our external partners (OSV,

Sequoia, etc.), to ensure every employee is paid correctly and every deduction is accounted for.

Responsibilities

Payroll Operations & Execution

  • End-to-End Support: Support U.S. payroll processing by validating complex employee

    changes, including bonuses, relocations, severance, and final pay for terminations

    (ensuring strict adherence to state-specific final pay laws).

  • Workday Data Integrity: Ensure all payroll changes are accurately reflected in Workday

    and aligned with supporting documentation.

  • Edge Case Management: Investigate and escalate inconsistencies or payroll data edge

    cases, exercising strong judgment and attention to detail.

     

Auditing & Compliance

  • Continuous Auditing: Audit payroll data within Workday to ensure accuracy,

    completeness, and compliance. Proactively identify and flag discrepancies or unusual

    entries before they impact pay.

  • Risk & Controls: Maintain a deep understanding of common payroll risks and internal

    controls to ensure a clean audit trail at all times.

  • Regulatory Expertise: Maintain a working knowledge of U.S. payroll regulatory

    requirements and risk.

     

Leave of Absence (LOA) & Benefits Reconciliation

  • LOA Pay Outcomes: Partner with HR to review and process LOA payments. Validate

    inputs and manage Excel-based tracking tools for LOA calculations and estimated top-off payments.

  • Policy Application: Build a mastery of payroll policies and LOA scenarios, including

    complex state-specific differences, to apply guidance accurately.

  • Benefits Reconciliation: Perform monthly reconciliations of benefit invoices (Medical,

    Dental, Vision, 401k, HSA, etc.) against payroll deductions and enrolment data to

    resolve any discrepancies.

     
About You 

Required Qualifications

  • Excel Proficiency: Advanced Excel skills are a must for calculating LOA top-offs and

    performing benefits reconciliations.

  • Communication: Exceptional ability to draft SOPs and explain complex pay impacts

    (like LOA or deductions) to employees in a clear, empathetic manner.

  • Preferred Experience: Familiarity with our vendor stack: OneSource Virtual (OSV),

    Sequoia, GoNavia, Empower, or HSA Bank.
