PAYROLL SPECIALIST I

Sycuan•El Cajon, CA

About The Position

The ancestors of the Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation existed many centuries ago as a community of people…a Tribe living together, farming, hunting and fishing to survive. Much has changed since that time. Today the Sycuan Tribe governs its Reservation, owns and operates a Casino and a Golf Resort, and owns a number of other business ventures in the San Diego Region. One attribute that remains unchanged, however, is Sycuan's sense of community. Sycuan is more than just a business. Sycuan is a community of people working together toward a common goal. Whether you work in our state-of-the-art Casino, our beautiful Resort, or become a staff member in our Tribal Government division, you will be part of the Sycuan family. Come join us as a Payroll Specialist and help keep everyone’s paychecks on track! You’ll make sure people get paid correctly, and help team members with their payroll questions. If you’re detail‑oriented, like solving problems, and enjoy working with a fun, supportive team, this could be the perfect fit! Job Purpose: Payroll Specialists are responsible for the accurate and timely processing of payroll and other payroll related functions for Sycuan Casino and Singing Hills Golf Resort.
