## About this task

This Series C clinical data company for physiotherapy clinics (501–1,000 employees) is looking for a senior Payroll Specialist for a single piece of work with a fixed scope and a fixed price. Registers accounts and rules for employees working in new states.

It is a self-contained job: scope, checklist and price are agreed before you start. It works in healthcare, so patient data is never part of the task and privacy rules are strict.

The work is fully remote. Any location in United States works, with a few hours of overlap with the team's day. Most people do this on weekday evenings; replies inside the working day are not expected. About 2 hours a week should overlap with the team's day (ET).

## What you deliver

- Set up payroll tax accounts and withholding for remote employees in six new states.

- A final note stating what was checked and what was left out of scope

- A 20-minute walkthrough call, or a recorded screen share if you prefer

- The finished deliverable in the agreed file format, with sources and assumptions listed

## How the work runs

- Day 1: kickoff call and access to the files

- Days 2 to 6: the work, with questions answered the same day

- Last day: delivery and a short walkthrough

**Duration:** 2 to 3 weeks. Accepted on the company's written OK. If something is missed, you fix it in the same week at no extra charge to either side.

## Tools

ADP Gusto Excel

## Who fits

- 5-10 years of hands-on work as a Payroll Specialist, or the equivalent mix of roles

- Comfortable working in ADP, Gusto and Excel

- Your own work history stays private; the company sees a first name, your field and a rate

### Nice to have

- Has worked with a distributed team across time zones

- A habit of asking one clarifying question early rather than five late

## Not included

- Travel or work at a fixed location

- Anything that needs a signature in your own name unless the brief says so

- On-call availability outside the agreed window

## How you get paid

- The company prepays Deftridge before your first hour, so payment does not depend on a late invoice.

- Deftridge pays you in USD after the company confirms the hours or the deliverable. The payment date is written in your task agreement.

- You work as an independent contractor: you report your own income, and your recruiter sends the statements your accountant needs.

- You never chase the company. Questions about money go to Deftridge.

## What happens after you say you're interested

1. **You agree the rate** You and the recruiter fix an exact rate inside the company's range. You decide whether to go ahead.
