Rochelle Blalock

I’m an analytical, detail-driven HR and Benefits professional focused on precise Total Rewards support—especially retirement-adjacent operations, audit readiness, and multi-system data integrity. I’m known for independently managing high-volume workflows while keeping compliance aligned across HR, payroll, and benefits platforms.

In my current HR Benefits Specialist role, I administer benefits programs and manage eligibility, enrollment, and deductions with a strong ACA compliance focus. I process and verify payroll data, reconcile compensation and benefits contributions across HRIS and payroll systems, and conduct recurring audits to ensure regulatory alignment. I use advanced Excel (VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP and pivot tables) and strong Workday proficiency to validate data and support accurate reporting.

Previously, as a Benefits Administrator, I managed full-cycle benefits administration—enrollments, terminations, qualifying life events, and payroll updates across HRIS and payroll systems. I performed audits of benefits elections, payroll deductions, and eligibility to ensure accuracy and compliance with plan rules, coordinated open enrollment and orientations, and handled leave of absence benefits, including premium calculations and return-to-work reinstatements. I also reconciled benefits invoices and resolved discrepancies with Finance.

Earlier in my career, I supported HR operations and benefits for multiple districts and large employee populations, ensuring clean HRIS records and system accuracy for payroll, leave, and benefits inquiries. At AON, I processed unemployment, disability, and life-changing events while improving workflows and standardizing templates—and I served as team lead by training new hires and developing onboarding materials. With an MBA in Human Resource Management and a consistent commitment to accuracy and employee understanding, I bring dependable, compliance-first execution to every engagement.
