Company mission
To enable homes to get clean energy faster, cheaper and more easily. Impacting climate change is our passion.
Role
Who you are
- Experience: 7-10+ years in U.S. payroll, with a heavy focus on complex, high-growth environments
- Workday Power User: Deep experience in Workday is required, including an understanding of business processes and EIB loads
- 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
- CPP or FCP is a plus
What the job involves
- 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
- 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 in a manufacturing environment. Work with regulatory authorities for tax registrations for payroll filings and partner closely with external payroll service providers to manage open cases
- 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
Our take
SPAN helps homeowners looking to improve their energy resilience by replacing electric panels, many of them decades old, with a flexible smart panel that helps users monitor and control their energy usage from a single app.
Founded in 2018, SPAN has made great strides in both price and technological development and won the International Builders' Show 2022 Best Energy Efficient Product award for its Gen 2 smart Panel. Alongside this, significant funding rounds have propelled product development, including a future-looking integration of its equipment with that of solar inverter, battery, and EV charger manufacturers.
This fast-developing and innovative home-energy solution directly responds to rising demand for efficiency, a momentum first highlighted by SPAN's 2024 partnership with PulteGroup. That progress has continues with the launch of two new models (the SPAN Panel MAIN 16 and MLO 24) which expand the company's line up and offer more affordable, flexible options for projects like solar, EV charging, and home electrification. Together, with existing panels, these additions reinforce SPAN's mission to deliver, smart, scalable energy systems.
