The HR Generalist runs the day-to-day HR work for the corporate office and supports the divisions: recruitment and onboarding, payroll and benefits administration, employee records, and the everyday employment questions that come with them.

You work to the policies and processes the Corporate HR Manager sets, and you keep them running accurately and on time.

This is a hands-on generalist role across the full employee lifecycle.

It suits someone who is organized, discreet, and comfortable moving between recruiting, payroll administration, and employee questions in the same day.

Maintain the applicant tracking system and keep candidate records and hiring documentation current.

Assist with work permit and immigration paperwork for incoming staff, gathering documentation for the Corporate HR Manager and external counsel.

Keep HR practices in line with the Ontario Employment Standards Act, Occupational Health and Safety Act, Human Rights Code, and AODA.

Maintain accurate, confidential employee records and HR files, and keep statutory documentation audit-ready.

Prepare and maintain WSIB claim and return-to-work documentation, and support employee relations matters and investigations as directed.

Payroll, benefits, and performance support Administer payroll inputs and group benefits enrolment, changes, and terminations in line with Ontario requirements.

Reconcile benefit invoices and resolve discrepancies with providers.

Coordinate the performance review and salary review cycles: schedules, forms, reminders, and completed-record tracking.

Employee experience and HR administration Act as the first point of contact for employee questions on policies, benefits, and procedures, escalating what needs the Corporate HR Manager.

Coordinate mandatory training, including WHMIS and health and safety, and track completion.

Support engagement activities, company events, and internal HR communications.
