The Financial Services and Asset Management department is pleased to invite applications for a second Payroll & Benefits Coordinator to join the team. This auxiliary, part-time position works 35 hours biweekly, Monday to Wednesday, providing additional coverage for vacation and sick leave as needed.

The successful applicant will be responsible for the interpretation and administration of a comprehensive employee benefits program, communicating with employees and benefits plan administrators, in addition to preparing related reports and records.
