- Run and review exception reports (missed punches, unapproved timecards, edits after approval) and coordinate fixes with managers.
- Verify pay classes, transfer codes, and job locations on timecards to ensure accurate costing and compliance.
- Escalate unresolved issues (chronic missing punches, off-the-clock risk, meal/rest break concerns) and coach managers on preventive routines.
- Support semi-monthly payroll readiness: status checks, approvals, and audit spot-checks; submit correction logs to Payroll for off-cycle adjustments as needed.
- Maintain documentation for wage/hour compliance (edit notes, attestations, approvals) per policy.
Policy, Coaching & Compliance
- Advise managers on corrective action, performance improvement, and conflict resolution.
- Interpret and apply CHH policies.
- Conduct exit interviews and analyze themes to drive retention and culture improvements.
Field Partnership & Culture

- Support onboarding quality and manager readiness (expectations, documentation, follow-through).
Required Skills
- Exceptional communication (clear, direct, diplomatic) in English and Spanish (Bilingual required).
- Proven ability to de-escalate, investigate objectively, and maintain confidentiality.
- Strong judgment, organization, and follow-through under tight timelines.
- Hands-on with ADP Time & Attendance (or similar): time edits, exception reports, approvals, and payroll cutoffs.
- High proficiency with email, Microsoft 365, timekeeping tools.
Experience
- 4+ years in Employee Relations or HR Generalist roles with investigations and case management ownership.
- Working knowledge of OSHA, and workers' compensation practices.
- Multi-site operations experience (hospitality, facilities, industrial services) preferred.
- HR certification (PHR/SPHR/SHRM-CP/SHRM-SCP) preferred.
Work Schedule
- Core business hours with flexibility for after-hours/urgent escalations tied to operations and payroll timelines.
