Position Overview

Astute Business Solutions is seeking an experienced PeopleSoft HCM North America Payroll Developer for a consulting engagement supporting a university’s payroll enhancement initiatives.

This opportunity is available on a contract-to-hire (CTH) or 1099 independent contractor basis. For CTH engagements, any future conversion to employment will depend on business needs, performance, and mutual agreement.

In this hands-on technical role, you will develop payroll enhancements, customize paycheck reporting, and build integrations supporting FLSA regular/blended rate calculations, California sick-pay requirements, and ADP paycheck rendering. You will collaborate with functional payroll leads and vendor teams to deliver accurate, thoroughly tested solutions while preserving delivered payroll calculations and controls.

Key Responsibilities

Core Payroll and Paycheck Customization

• Assess existing PAY003 processes, BI Publisher paycheck layouts, payroll customizations, and relevant Job and Position data.

• Enhance PAY003 and supporting staging structures to associate Job and Position identifiers with the appropriate earnings lines.

• Support employees with multiple jobs or positions while preventing incorrect cross-job attribution and duplicate earnings.

• Preserve delivered gross-to-net calculations, payroll control totals, and reconciliation integrity.

FLSA Regular/Blended Rate and California Sick-Pay Enhancements

• Develop Application Engine processes to identify applicable pay calendars, eligible non-exempt employees, and qualifying sick-pay earnings after payroll calculation.

• Retrieve and apply calculated regular/blended rates from relevant delivered payroll tables, including PS_PY_EE_REG_RATE.

• Develop Component Interfaces, where appropriate, to apply payroll rate overrides through PeopleSoft business logic.

• Support controlled payroll recalculation, validation, and confirmation, including verification of earnings, taxes, and accounting results.

ADP Outbound Interfaces and Integration

• Develop and maintain outbound payroll interfaces according to ADP specifications.

• Map employee, Job/Position, earnings code, hours, rate, current earnings, and year-to-date earnings data.

• Implement file formatting, field-length checks, transmission requirements, and pre-transmission validation.

• Coordinate end-to-end testing with payroll stakeholders, ADP representatives, and QA teams, from PeopleSoft payroll processing through final paycheck-stub rendering.

Technical Delivery and Testing

• Prepare technical specifications, mapping documents, deployment instructions, and support documentation.

• Perform unit, integration, and regression testing across standard and complex payroll scenarios.

• Investigate discrepancies and reconcile interface outputs against PeopleSoft payroll results.

• Coordinate with functional leads to confirm requirements and support user acceptance testing.

Required Qualifications

• At least 5 years of hands-on PeopleSoft HCM development experience, including version 9.2, with a strong focus on North America Payroll and Time and Labor.

• Strong proficiency in Application Designer, Application Engine, PeopleCode, Component Interfaces, SQR—including PAY003—and BI Publisher.

• Working knowledge of PeopleSoft payroll data structures, pay calendars, and Pay Calculation and Confirmation processes.

• Experience with relevant tables, including PS_JOB, PS_POSITION_DATA, PS_PAY_CHECK, PS_PAY_EARNINGS, PS_PAY_OTH_EARNS, and PS_PY_EE_REG_RATE.

• Experience supporting multi-job/multi-position employee populations and FLSA regular-rate calculations.

• Demonstrated experience developing vendor payroll interfaces and performing reconciliation and data validation.

• Advanced SQL skills using Oracle or SQL Server, including complex queries, staging-table design, and batch performance tuning.

• Strong troubleshooting, communication, and technical documentation skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience implementing California sick-pay and FLSA blended-rate enhancements in PeopleSoft North America Payroll.

• Higher education or university payroll experience.

• Familiarity with PeopleSoft Time and Labor payable-time generation and integration with North America Payroll.

• Direct experience working with ADP on paycheck-stub rendering, file specifications, and interface troubleshooting.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or equivalent practical experience.
