About the role

Harter Secrest & Emery LLP is seeking a Payroll Administrator in Rochester, NY to manage multi-state payroll processing, regulatory compliance, and HRIS-related tasks. You will work with Finance and HR teams to ensure accurate biweekly, semi-monthly, and monthly payrolls and provide excellent support to attorneys and staff. The ideal candidate has a BS in Finance or Accounting and 5–7 years of payroll experience, including multi-state tax setups and adept use of ADP and Excel.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
