Payroll & Benefits Specialist

LaSalle Network
Chicago, IL

LaSalle Network is partnering with a well-established, family-oriented company that’s looking to add a dependable Payroll & Benefits Specialist to their team. This is a great opportunity for someone who values stability, consistency, and ownership of their work in a collaborative, traditional office environment.

Due to a planned transition, the current Payroll & Benefits Administrator will be stepping away toward the end of summer to care for family. The company is seeking a smooth handoff and cross-training period to ensure continuity for payroll, benefits, and compliance reporting.

Responsibilities:

  • Process bi-weekly payroll accurately and efficiently (approx. 3–4 hours per cycle), with final approval from the CFO

  • Serve as the primary point of contact for benefits administration, including coordinating with vendors and brokers and leading annual open enrollment

  • Manage compliance reporting, including EEOC and 401(k) audits

  • Respond to employee questions related to payroll and benefits

  • Maintain up-to-date records and work closely with the HR Manager and CFO as needed

  • Operate independently and own this function from start to finish

Ideal Candidate:

  • 2+ years of experience in both payroll processing and benefits administration

  • Comfortable working independently and owning processes from start to finish

  • Strong attention to detail, reliability, and commitment to deadlines

  • Experience collaborating with benefits vendors and brokers

  • Familiarity with compliance reporting (EEOC, 401(k), etc.)

  • Someone who enjoys being dependable and steady, whether early in their career or a seasoned professional looking for a stable role

  • Open to working fully onsite Tuesday–Thursday (or as needed, per company policy)

Additional Details:

  • The company culture values in-person collaboration — the owner prefers having the team onsite and connected

  • This is a hands-on role — perfect for someone who is reliable, steady, and takes pride in delivering accurate payroll and benefits support

If you’re looking for a role where your consistency, accuracy, and reliability will be valued every day, we’d love to hear from you!
