What You Will Be Doing:

In this role, you will serve as a core payroll technician on the DNR Payroll Team, responsible for the accurate and timely processing of personnel and payroll actions for the Department in full compliance with state and federal law, Personnel Rules, and multiple collective bargaining agreements. Your core responsibilities will include:

Processing personnel actions and timesheets: You will review and enter a broad range of personnel actions in IRIS across multiple bargaining units, ensuring accuracy and compliance with applicable rules and statutes, before submitting them to your supervisor for certification. You will also review, work on, and certify biweekly timesheets covering all types of pay and leave.
Owning timesheet and payroll processing: You will receive, calculate, code, and certify bi-weekly payroll, including timesheets, leave, overtime, premium pay, late adjustments, and final pay for terminations and seasonal leave without pay — ensuring accuracy and compliance with CBAs, FLSA, and state payroll policy every pay period.
Conducting payroll and leave audits: You will research and complete audits of pay and leave discrepancies, process Notice of Pay Problem (NOPP) research assignments, calculate retroactive adjustments, and coordinate with the Division of Finance and departmental staff to resolve errors accurately and on time.
Communicating proactively with clients: You will serve as a responsive, solutions-focused point of contact for administrative staff, timekeepers, and employees — explaining payroll procedures, counseling on pay and leave questions, and working to prevent issues from escalating into formal grievances or NOPPs.
Supporting team operations: You will contribute to standard operating procedures, assist with end-of-year actions and mass processing tasks, and serve as a trained backup for Emergency Firefighter (EFF) payroll processing — helping build a unit that is accurate, consistent, and resilient.
