fal is hiring a Foundational Global Payroll Manager to own payroll end to end for a fast-growing, distributed team: US W-2 employees, US contractors, global employees through Employers of Record (EORs), and global contractors. The role runs accurate, on-time payroll in Rippling, gets bonuses and commissions paid correctly, and builds the controls and processes that let payroll scale. It's hands-on: run the cycles today, and design how payroll works as fal adds states, countries, and headcount.

Hourly, non-exempt, and intern pay: California daily OT, double time, 7th-day rules; regular-rate calculations; timekeeping, meal/rest break attestations and premiums; Labor Code 226-compliant wage statements; per-cycle audits.

Global EOR payroll: monthly inputs, register review, and invoice reconciliation; new-country setup and entity decisions; country-by-country compliance.

US and global contractors: payments in the right currency; W-9/W-8BEN collection and 1099-NECs; classification risk with People and Legal; monthly GL reconciliation.

Bonuses, commissions, variable pay: supplemental withholding by state/country; commission validation with Sales Ops and Finance; equity-event payroll (RSU vests, option exercises).

Controls, accounting, audit and compliance: payroll JEs, GL recs, month-end accruals; controls and audit trails; agency notices and audits; mandatory filings including pay data reports.

Systems and process: Rippling payroll expert; automate manual steps; payroll calendar, runbooks, and policies; go-to for employee payroll questions.
