Jamie Scholz
@jamiescholz
Payroll Manager and HRIS leader improving compliance, systems, and efficiency.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Payroll Manager and Payroll & HRIS leader with 20+ years of progressive experience running payroll operations, tax compliance, HRIS administration, reporting, and process improvement across complex multi-state and multi-entity environments.
I’ve directed payroll programs supporting 4 FEIN entities, workforces up to 500 employees, and operations across 30 states with multiple taxing jurisdictions. I’m known for strengthening compliance, improving payroll accuracy, and building governance controls that hold up under audit.
I lead enterprise payroll and HR systems using platforms like UKG and ADP. In addition to administration, configuration, and optimization across HCM modules, I’ve delivered integrations and advanced BI—such as owning the full lifecycle of 15+ UKG APIs and creating reports and dashboards that give HR leaders and operations actionable insights.
I also focus on measurable employee experience and workflow effectiveness. I improved attendance by ~15% with UKG Points and standardized practices, increased UKG Mobile App utilization by ~40%, and enhanced payroll/HR access through the HR Open Door program (improving satisfaction by ~15–20%), while streamlining approvals and expanding self-service.
