Company Overview:

Ferrari Group is a global leader in secure logistics and transportation of high-value merchandise including luxury jewelry, precious metals, and confidential assets. Ferrari Express Inc. delivers armored transportation and secure logistics services across the United States, operating in high-risk, high-value environments requiring precision, discretion, and accountability.

Position Summary:

Ferrari Express Inc. is seeking a detail-driven, compliance-focused Human Resources Administrator to support the full employee lifecycle under the direction of the Human Resources Manager. This role goes well beyond basic clerical support — it is central to payroll accuracy, regulatory compliance, workers' compensation administration, onboarding/offboarding execution, and cross-functional Human Resources coordination. The ideal candidate brings hands-on experience with ADP Workforce Now, a solid understanding of labor law compliance (FLSA, FMLA, NYS wage requirements), and the initiative to own complex, high-volume tasks with minimal supervision.

Key Responsibilities:

Payroll & Compensation Administration

• Initiate and coordinate urgent/off-cycle manual check requests through ADP, ensuring memo fields and pay codes satisfy labor law requirements (e.g., reporting-time pay).
• Investigate and resolve payroll discrepancies for new hires and existing employees, including missing paychecks, direct-deposit setup failures, and retroactive pay adjustments.
• Confirm expense reimbursements are captured on the weekly payroll sheet and processed correctly with the current pay cycle.
• Partner with ADP and internal accounting to verify and document all pay corrections

Onboarding & Offboarding

• Manage new-hire technical onboarding, including ADP Kiosk setup, troubleshooting clock-in issues, and guiding employees on alternative time-entry methods.
• Execute the full candidate rejection workflow: issue formal rejection communications through Human Resources Hub and administer pre-adverse/adverse action notices for failed background or drug screenings per FCRA requirements.
• Track and collect mandatory pre-employment documentation (professional references, CTPAT acknowledgments, licensing verifications) and flag outstanding items before start dates.
• Conduct E-Verify and I-9 processes in compliance with federal regulations.

Human Resources Compliance & Employment Documentation

• Draft, revise, and reissue employment documents — including offer letters, NYS Wage Theft Prevention Act forms, and employment agreements — ensuring accurate FLSA classification (exempt vs. non-exempt), overtime eligibility language, and annual bonus provisions.
• Manage the collection, countersigning, and filing of Employment and Non-Compete Agreements; upload executed copies to the designated shared drive on schedule.
• Maintain accurate and audit-ready Human Resources records in ADP Workforce Now and physical/digital filing systems.
• Assist Human Resources Manager in monitoring compliance with federal, state, and local employment laws including FLSA, FMLA, NYS WARN, and CTPAT requirements.
• Coordinate and support internal compliance reviews to ensure adherence to company policies, employment laws, and regulatory requirements.
• Lead and participate in internal audits and respond to external and third-party audit requests, ensuring timely and accurate documentation.
• Assist with sustainability reporting initiatives by collecting, analyzing, and maintaining relevant workforce and compliance data.
• Manage and maintain employee records and Human Resources data within ADP and other Human Resources information systems.
• Investigate employee complaints and workplace concerns, documenting findings and supporting resolution processes.
• Analyze Human Resources data and trends to identify compliance risks and recommend process improvements.
• Plan and coordinate employee engagement activities, training sessions, and company events.
• Collaborate with department leaders and external stakeholders to ensure Human Resources processes are effectively communicated and implemented.
• Support organizational objectives through critical thinking, problem-solving, and process optimization.

Workers’ Compensation & Leave Administration

• Serve as the day-to-day liaison between injured employees, supervisors, and the workers' compensation carrier throughout the claims process.
• Prompt and follow up with managers to complete supervisor incident report sections within required timeframes to support timely claim filing.
• Review and communicate post-injury work restrictions with operations supervisors to confirm accommodations are in place; address unauthorized absences during claim periods.
• Collect and track all required medical documentation including return-to-work releases.
• Process and input leave requests (bereavement, FMLA, personal) in ADP; ensure records are accurate and managers are notified.

Recruitment Support

• Assist with full-cycle recruiting: post openings, screen applicants, coordinate interview schedules, and correspond with candidates throughout the process.
• Coordinate background checks and drug screenings; administer pre-adverse and adverse action notices as required.

Benefits, Vendor, & Departmental Coordination

• Coordinate with benefits vendors (e.g., Aflac) to set up and maintain employer portals, align open-enrollment periods, and communicate plan updates to employees.
• Handle internal and external requests for Certificates of Insurance (COI) and indemnity bonds; relay to insurance carriers and track delivery.
• Provide general Human Resources administrative support to the Human Resources Manager including correspondence, scheduling, and special projects as needed.
