## About the role

UFORCE is standing up its first US manufacturing site, and we're looking for an People Operations Generalist to be the people ops engine behind it. You'll own payroll for the site — hourly and salaried — end to end: accurate, on time, and audit-ready. Around that sits everything a new site needs day to day: onboarding, compliance reporting, benefits coordination, training, and being the person employees come to with HR and payroll questions.

## What they're looking for

- Independent, end-to-end ownership of US payroll for both hourly and salaried employees, including timekeeping, overtime and corrections
- Strong US employment compliance and reporting: federal and state filings, wage and hour, I-9, exempt vs. non-exempt classification and record-keeping
- Hands-on HRIS administration (Rippling, ADP, Paylocity, BambooHR, UKG, Workday or similar), with responsibility for data integrity and audit-readiness
- Experience standing up HR at a new or greenfield US site, or transitioning a company off a PEO into in-house payroll and HR
- Manufacturing, plant, warehouse or other industrial HR experience with a significant hourly population — ideally in cleared-facility or defense manufacturing
- Comfort operating as the sole on-site HR person: self-directed, organized under ambiguity, leaves clean and auditable records
