## About this task

This vertical software provider for law firms (5,000+ employees) is looking for a manager Payroll Specialist for an ongoing part-time engagement of 1–2 h a week. Confirms deposits and returns were filed correctly and on time.

Workload peaks and dips, so a few fixed hours a week fit better than a full-time seat. The company sells subscription software, so deadlines follow release and billing cycles.

The team sits in Irvine. Everything can be done remotely; an occasional visit is welcome and never required for the first month. Evenings or weekends are fine, as long as the agreed weekly output is there. About 2 hours a week should overlap with the team's day (PT).

## What you deliver

- Check the quarter's deposits and Form 500 against the payroll registers and list any penalties.

- A short handover note when the engagement pauses or ends

- Questions collected in one thread, answered within one working day

- A written update every Thursday with what was done, what is next and anything blocked

## What a week looks like

- Daily: one hour at a time that suits you, inside the agreed window

- Tuesday: ten-minute sync if anything is blocked

- Thursday: weekly summary posted to the shared thread

**Duration:** 12 weeks, renewable. Accepted when the output matches the agreed checklist and the sample check passes; the recruiter confirms by e-mail.
