About the Job

As the People Business Partner you will be our on-site owner of employee relations and HR compliance — the person managers and employees turn to for day-to-day people questions, and the one who keeps leave, workers' comp, and our HR policies running smoothly.

This is a generalist role with real ownership — less about any single specialty and more about being the steady, trusted hand for everything from a tricky manager conversation to a workers' comp claim.

Minimum Qualifications

• Employee relations: Be the primary point of contact for ER matters for your client group — coaching managers, running routine investigations, and knowing when to bring the Director in.
• Leave & workers' comp: Own leave-of-absence administration (FMLA, state leave, ADA accommodations) and workers' comp claims end to end, including return-to-work coordination.
• Handbook & policy: Keep our employee handbook and HR policies current day to day.
• Job descriptions & org changes: Partner with managers on writing and maintaining job descriptions, and process organizational changes like role or reporting-line updates.
• Exits: Manage the offboarding process, including exit interviews and unemployment claims.
• Recruiting backup: Flex into recruiting support alongside the Talent & Programs Partner during peak hiring periods.
• Manager coaching: Be the go-to resource for people managers navigating day-to-day HR decisions.

Minimum Qualifications

• 3–5+ years of HR generalist or HR business partner experience, with real exposure to employee relations and leave/compliance administration.
• Hands-on experience administering leave programs (FMLA, state leave, ADA) and workers' comp claims
• Comfortable with employee relations and compliance matters, with good judgment about what to handle directly versus escalate.
• Fair, consistent, and well-documented approach to employee relations.
• Strong organizational skills — this role juggles multiple live employee situations at once.
• A natural collaborator

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working in a hybrid remote/on-site team structure.
• Familiarity with ADP Workforce Now and handbook/policy management tools.
