The Human Resources Generalist will be responsible for supporting the Human Resources Department by implementing HR processes and maintaining HR information. The HR Generalist is a full-time position, reporting to the Senior Director of Human Resources.
The Human Resources Generalist will provide support for a range of HR activities with a focus on human resources operations: recruitment, onboarding and orientation, payroll back-up support benefits administration, and exit/offboarding activities. Specific duties include (but are not limited to) recruiting and staffing; onboarding and offboarding activities; orientation facilitation, coordinating training sessions and other events planning, drafting HR documents, collecting new hire paperwork; preparing training materials, processing expense reports and payment requests, and benefits and leave administration (e.g., entering enrollments and terminations, submitting claims paperwork, reporting/compliance, etc.), assisting in the adjudication of worker’s compensation claims through the designated vendor and updating OSHA incident logs.
Additionally, a huge component of the Generalist’s job will be involved in the improvement of process flows within human resources and the maintenance of accurate, organized, and compliance HR records, based on federal and statutory requirements – including preparing job requisitions, scheduling interviews, and facilitating the recruitment/selection process in our Applicant Tracking System (ATS); and entering new employee information, job/pay changes, and terminations in the HRIS system in support of payroll processing activities. On occasion, the HR Generalist will also serve as the backup to the Payroll Manager.
While a large part of the HR Generalist’s time will be spent in support of HR operations (recruitment, onboarding, payroll/HRIS, benefits administration, and offboarding), the HR Generalist may also be asked to lead special projects by the Executive Team. Other duties may include (but are not limited to), posting jobs and internships, pre-screening resumes and applications, attending career fairs, performing benefits or compensation research, and supporting HR events and initiatives.
