Payroll Processor/Administrator | Multi-Client Payroll in Wichita (In-Office)

Payroll is never just data entry. It's the garnishment that has to be calculated correctly, the tax details that cannot be off, the benefits deduction a client is asking about by phone, and the direct deposit that has to land clean — across multiple employers at the same time.

If you can run all of that without letting details slip, we should talk.

Market HR Services processes payroll for multiple client companies, and we are adding capacity now for a specific reason. We are moving from three client companies today toward ten to twelve banks by January 1, 2027. We need an experienced processor trained on our system well before that expansion lands — not scrambling after it.

This is a defined lane, not a permanent fire drill. You will set up employee payroll data, prepare checks and direct deposits, maintain payroll and HR records, handle payroll tax and benefits, monitor garnishments and uncollected payroll, and answer client questions by phone, email, and CRM. The work rewards someone who closes loops, documents cleanly, and protects confidential information without being reminded.

The first two to three months are about system mastery: learning our workflow across the current client base and proving accuracy under a real deadline. That starts in the office. Once you have the system down, there may be room for one to two days a week from home. This is not a fully remote seat.

You are a strong fit if you bring:

  • 2+ years of payroll processing or administration, with 3 to 5 years ideal.
  • Confidence with checks and direct deposits, records, garnishments, and payroll tax and benefits detail.
  • A high confidentiality standard and precision that holds up under volume.
  • Client-communication instincts — you handle questions before they become escalations.
  • Fundamental Payroll Certification, or the willingness to earn it within your first year.

PEO, payroll-bureau, multi-employer, or banking-client experience moves you up fast. So does a CPP credential, which positions you higher on our compensation grid. The seat also includes a 401(k) with match, health, dental, and vision, HSA/FSA, life insurance, paid time off, and tuition reimbursement. Full-time, Monday through Friday.

This will not fit someone who wants isolated back-office work, single-employer simplicity, or heavy daily supervision. It will fit a processor who takes pride in a clean queue and wants to be one of the people who make the bank expansion actually work.
