Payroll Specialist job description
65 verified openings in Payroll
Payroll and timekeeping clerks are the clearest case in this field where headline growth and real demand point in opposite directions: BLS projects a 16 percent decline for the occupation from 2025 to 2035 and still expects about 11,400 openings a year from a base of 159,600 jobs. The work runs on a fixed calendar of pay cycles, quarter ends, and year ends, absorbing every change in wage and employment tax law along the way. It is also the one job on this board where BLS puts typical entry at high school plus moderate-term training rather than at a degree. May 2025 median pay was $58,260, above the $49,990 median across financial clerks.

Payroll roles employers list here collect above and are verified live, so specialist and clerk postings sit together, and what most of them ask for is experience with the system rather than a qualification. Employers here recruit into a shrinking occupation that still turns over hard, which leaves the detail to decide it. Name the payroll platform, the pay frequency, the headcount, the number of states or countries in scope, and whether the specialist owns quarter end. Multi-state payroll is a real specialism and the people who do it know it.
