Goddess and Grocer Hiring for Payroll and HR Specialist Job at Chicago, IL Full Time

If you have a passion for creating new systems and making things happen, and come from a solid and storied background in Payroll and People Administration, The Goddess is looking for you!

The Goddess Restaurant Group is a privately owned collection of wholesale and retail locations, including The Goddess and Grocer and The Goddess Rocks!

We are currently seeking a seasoned Payroll and People Administrator to join our office in Chicago. Reporting to our Controller, and working alongside our Controller, Director of Operations, and Owner, you will be eligible for generous benefits, United Healthcare Health Insurance, Dental and Vision, PTO, MetLife Life and AD&D, and Colonial Life supplemental offerings.

Our combined office and Commissary Kitchen is located in West Humboldt Park, and this is where you will work, while also occasionally traveling to store and concert locations for orientations/onboarding/meetings. Our office is both dynamic and quiet. Most of the action is back in the kitchens, but spills upfront some too- for conversations, meetings and tastings. The Accounting/Payroll Department is naturally socially distanced, as the Controller is solely remote from the West Coast.

We are looking for someone well-versed in full-cycle People Administration:

· Onboarding, Off boarding and Employee File Maintenance

· I-9 verification, record keeping and compliance

· Tip Pool calculations and maintenance of workbooks (Excel)

· Multi-state payroll tax enrollments

· Employee benefits enrollment

· ACA compliance

· Workmen’s Compensation wage documentation

· Multiple location Overtime calculations

· State of Illinois Sexual Harassment Training

· Working knowledge of Labor Law and City of Chicago Ordinances

· HR Protocols and Best Practices

Qualifications:

· 5+ years of experience as a Payroll/HR Generalist

· 3+ years of experience with cloud-based payroll processing

The Ideal Candidate has/is:

· Excellent time management skills

· Totally comfortable working independently towards known and time-sensitive deadlines

· Exceptional work ethic and reliability

· Fantastic communication skills, both written and verbal

· Open-mindedness to learn and confidence to teach

· Outstanding organization skills, and ability to manage and track multiple “hanging threads”

If this sounds like a fun and rewarding opportunity to flex your People Pro-ness, then The Goddess looks forward to meeting you!
