Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

Files H-1B transfers

3 transfer filings in the last year, covering 3 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

Sourced from Department of Labor LCA, PERM and prevailing-wage disclosure data. Employer matching is by name, so figures may be split across an employer's legal entities. Absence of a filing means none appears in our copy of the data, not that none exists.

  • Create and maintain clear documentation for configurations, releases, known issues, operating procedures, and transition handoffs.
  • Coordinate with downstream system owners where an issue extends beyond Workday. Building or modifying Workato automations is not in scope.

  • Working knowledge of I-9/E-Verify operations and related Workday processes.
  • Experience partnering with HR, Payroll, and technical stakeholders on sensitive, compliance-related system changes.
  • Experience with EIBs, RaaS, calculated fields, APIs, and Workday integration troubleshooting.
  • Experience leading an end-to-end Workday implementation or major functional rollout.
  • Familiarity with ADP timekeeping or payroll-adjacent integrations.

Benefits

  • We are seeking a senior, hands-on Workday Business Systems Analyst contractor to own the day-to-day operation and enhancement of our Workday environment during a parental leave coverage period (6 months).
  • This role is centered on US Payroll and Benefits, with responsibility for Workday security, business-process configuration, approval routing, I-9/E-Verify support, and production issue resolution.
  • Own daily Workday administration and operational support for US Payroll, Benefits, security, business processes, approval routing, and related employee lifecycle processes.
  • Diagnose, prioritize, and resolve production issues affecting payroll, benefits, employee data, approvals, access, and compliance-sensitive workflows.
  • Administer and troubleshoot US benefits processes, including eligibility, life events, enrollment-related workflows, deductions, and vendor-facing operational needs.
  • Support Workday reporting and reporting-access needs as part of operational coverage.
  • In addition to operational coverage, this role may lead the end-to-end implementation of Philippines timekeeping in Workday Time Tracking if the initiative is approved following requirements and feasibility assessment.
  • US Payroll and Benefits processes remain stable, timely, and well supported throughout the coverage period.
  • The Philippines Time Tracking initiative has a clear feasibility decision and implementation plan; if approved, delivery progresses without compromising payroll and benefits operations.
