About this role
GenScript is looking for someone to take ownership of payroll tax compliance across their US operations, working largely independently to catch and fix issues before they become problems. You'd monitor tax rates in UKG Ready, hunt for discrepancies in liabilities and filings, handle correspondence from tax agencies, and escalate material risks to leadership. The role also includes year-end W-2 reconciliation and periodic reviews of filing and deposit performance. This is hands-on detective work—investigating notices, penalties, and misapplied payments, then coordinating resolution directly with UKG and tax authorities.
The position is hybrid based in Piscataway, New Jersey, with full onsite presence required only during your first month, then scaling back to one day per week. Hours average 2-3 days weekly and will flex based on business needs. You'll need solid knowledge of payroll tax mechanics, comfort navigating UKG Ready, and the ability to communicate findings clearly to HR and Finance. The pay is $40–$43 per hour, and benefits include medical, dental, vision, 401(k) with immediate vesting, paid parental leave after three months, and comprehensive PTO.
