About VCC
VCC is a leading commercial general contractor with a national footprint and approximately 300 employees across the country. We build complex, large-scale commercial projects and are proud of the team that makes it happen — from the field to the office. Our HR team is small and strategic — the work you do here is visible, meaningful, and felt across the organization from day one.
The Opportunity
We’re looking for an experienced HR & Payroll Specialist to join our lean HR team. This is a full-cycle role — you’ll own weekly and biweekly multi-state payroll processing and serve as the primary administrator for our employee benefits programs. You’ll be a key point of contact for employees across the country and a hands-on partner to the VP of Human Resources on compliance, open enrollment, and HR operations.
If you thrive in a role where no two days look the same, you’re comfortable managing both detail-intensive payroll work and high-touch employee interactions, and you want to work somewhere that values what HR actually does — this is the role for you.
What You’ll Be Responsible For
- Process weekly and biweekly payroll for a multi-state, exempt and non-exempt workforce
- Review and validate timecards, earnings, deductions, adjustments, garnishments, and bonuses
- Ensure compliance with federal, state, and local wage/hour and payroll tax requirements
- Administer auto allowance and mileage reimbursement programs through payroll
- Support quarterly and annual payroll audits and W-2 coordination
- Maintain accurate records and partner with HR on new hires, terminations, and compensation changes
Benefits Administration
- Administer medical, dental, vision, life, disability, FSA/HSA, and 401(k) programs
- Process enrollments, life event changes, and terminations in ADP and carrier portals
- Serve as the primary employee contact for benefits questions
- Conduct new hire benefits orientations
- Lead open enrollment execution — system configuration, communications, and post-enrollment audits
- Coordinate COBRA with third-party vendors
- Administer FMLA, personal leave, and other LOA programs; manage return-to-work coordination
- Manage benefit compliance obligations: ACA reporting support, required notices (SPD, SAR, SBC), and 5500 coordination
HR Operations
- Maintain HRIS data integrity in ADP Workforce Now; process employee status changes and position updates
- Administer per diem and long-term lodging programs for field-assigned employees
- Support internal and external audits related to payroll and benefits
- Partner with the VP of HR on process improvement and compliance calendar management
What You Bring
- 5+ years of payroll processing experience, including multi-state; benefits administration experience required
- Hands-on experience with ADP Workforce Now (or similar HRIS); carrier portal experience preferred
- Solid understanding of payroll regulations, wage/hour compliance, and benefits compliance (ACA, ERISA, COBRA, HIPAA)
- Construction, field workforce, or project-driven industry experience a plus
- Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business, or related field preferred
- PHR, SHRM-CP, or CPP certification a plus
- High attention to detail, strong Excel skills, and the ability to manage competing deadlines without dropping the ball
- A genuine service orientation — you take pride in getting it right for employees
We invest in our people and support long-term careers.
Our employees receive a competitive compensation and benefits package designed to support both professional performance and personal well-being, including:
- Competitive wages and potential bonus opportunities
- Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, plus critical illness, accident, and hospital indemnity plans
- Company-provided life insurance and long-term disability coverage
- Traditional and Roth 401(k) retirement options
- Wellness program and employee support resources
