• Provide clear, policy-aligned technical explanations to internal partners, HR teams, and contact center agents.
• Process union-related updates requiring adjustments to PTO, Vacation, Personal Days, and Sick Pay, ensuring compliance with collective bargaining agreements and system logic.

Compliance, System Testing & Continuous Improvement

• Support system configuration, data validation, regression testing, and scenario-based testing for PTO and Absence Management system implementations, enhancements, and regulatory updates.
• Support the transition to a new Absence Management system, including data mapping, conversion validation, parallel testing, and cross-system reconciliation.
• Evaluate post-implementation performance by analyzing system outputs, processing timelines, error rates, and end-user impact.
• Identify configuration gaps, process inefficiencies, and automation opportunities, and partner with HRIS and stakeholders to drive improvements.
• Validate system logic, accrual rules, eligibility criteria, and integrations to ensure consistent performance across HRIS, absence management, and timekeeping platforms.
• Contribute to continuous improvement efforts by documenting processes, strengthening data controls, supporting audits, and participating in special projects.

General Expectations

• Demonstrate reliable attendance and consistently deliver results in a high-volume, deadline-driven environment.
