Payroll Jobs in Illinois

A Payroll professional in the accounting industry manages the process of paying an organization's employees. They ensure the accurate processing and recording of the company's payroll, provide timely and accurate financial information, and participate in data entry and processing for the company's payroll. This includes ensuring that all calculations are accurate, that all necessary deductions have been made, and that employees are paid on time. Payroll professionals also ensure that the organization is in compliance with all tax laws, labor laws, and any other applicable regulations.

Important skills for a Payroll professional include attention to detail, understanding of accounting principles, proficiency with payroll software, and knowledge of tax and labor laws.
