Remote Accounting Payroll Jobs in Oregon (NOW HIRING)

Payroll Administrator

Remote, US (North Texas preferred) | Full Time, Exempt

Are you a Workday Payroll expert who loves precision, problem solving, and making sure every employee gets paid right, every time? We're looking for a Payroll Administrator to take ownership of our payroll operations and become our go to resource for all things Workday.

This is a great opportunity for someone who genuinely enjoys the technical side of payroll: configuring systems, troubleshooting issues, and finding smarter ways to get things done, while also being the friendly, knowledgeable face employees turn to with payroll questions.

What You'll Do

Own end to end payroll processing for all employees using Workday, plus the Deel platform for our global team members. You'll calculate wages, bonuses, and deductions with accuracy and care, and make sure every timesheet and record checks out before payroll runs.

You'll be the go to person for the Workday payroll module itself: configuring it, maintaining it, troubleshooting it, and partnering with HR and IT on updates, integrations, and testing. If you see a manual process that could be automated, you'll have the platform and the support to make it happen.

Beyond the system work, you'll keep us compliant with federal, state, and local payroll laws, prepare and review tax filings, and support audits with confidence. You'll generate payroll reports for leadership and accounting, help with month end, quarter end, and year end close (including W-2s), and manage benefit deductions across health insurance, retirement, FSAs, and more.

You'll also be a trusted resource for employees, answering questions, resolving pay discrepancies, and helping people navigate Workday self-service tools like pay stubs and direct deposit updates.

What You Bring

• A bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, human resources, or a related field (or equivalent experience), along with 3 to 5 years of payroll administration experience.
• Strong, hands on Workday Payroll expertise is essential here. We're looking for at least 2 years of direct experience setting up, processing, and troubleshooting within Workday.
• You should also bring solid experience with multi-state payroll, garnishments, benefits, deductions, and tax compliance, along with strong Excel skills and a comfort level with payroll reporting and reconciliation.
• A CPP or FPC certification is a nice to have but not required. Experience with Deel, global payroll, EOR and contractor management, or system integrations between payroll, benefits, and time tracking platforms will help you stand out, as will advanced Workday reporting and analytics skills.

You'll Thrive in This Role If You

Have sharp attention to detail and genuinely enjoy solving problems. Understand payroll law and tax compliance and take that responsibility seriously. Communicate clearly and bring a service mindset to every interaction. Stay organized and steady even when juggling multiple deadlines in a fast moving environment.
