• Configure and monitor accruals (vacation, PTO, sick time), including accrual rules, balances, carryovers, and audits/reconciliations.
• Support expense management processes (as applicable), ensuring correct capture, approvals, and downstream reporting/integration.
• Support workforce scheduling activities such as shifts, assignments, rotations, and coverage rules; troubleshoot scheduling impacts to time capture.
• Investigate and resolve timekeeping exceptions and errors; provide root‑cause analysis and recommendations to prevent recurrence.
• Partner with Payroll and HR to ensure accurate and timely processing, including period close activities and data validation.
• Participate in system testing for enhancements, patches, and new releases; create test scripts and document results.
• Create and maintain documentation (configuration, SOPs, job aids) and provide training and support to end users and stakeholders.

Required Qualifications

• Basic to intermediate knowledge of Timekeeping / Attendance platforms (UKG experience is a strong plus).
• Understanding of time rules and worked‑hours calculations, including exceptions and compliance considerations.
