Mission Context

Supports the G1's personnel readiness mission by ensuring accurate, timely payroll processing and civilian pay policy compliance for the USARCENT civilian workforce.

Key Responsibilities

• Process and review civilian payroll transactions for accuracy, timeliness, and compliance with applicable pay regulations.
• Research and resolve civilian pay discrepancies, coordinating with Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) and HR as needed.
• Maintain civilian pay records and supporting documentation in accordance with records-management requirements.
• Advise civilian employees and supervisors on pay-related policy questions.
• Support periodic pay audits and internal control reviews.

Note: The Government's solicitation does not itemize detailed day-to-day tasks for this labor category (confirmed via FAQ: the Government will not provide detailed education, experience, certification, or specialized-skill requirements per labor category). The duties above reflect standard industry expectations for this role combined with the PWS's stated mission and functional-support narrative for G1 (Personnel).
Required Qualifications

• Prior experience in DoD or federal civilian payroll/pay administration.
• Familiarity with DFAS civilian pay systems and processes.
• Strong attention to detail and data accuracy under recurring deadlines.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, particularly Excel.

Security & Compliance Requirements (per PWS)

• SECRET clearance required.
• Must be a U.S. Citizen (contractor personnel performing work under this contract shall be U.S. citizens unless AR 25-2 provisions are fully completed and the Government grants approval for a non-U.S. citizen).
• Must be able to read, write, speak, and understand English sufficiently to communicate effectively, in person and electronically, with co-workers, customers, and the public.
• Must obtain a DoD Common Access Card (CAC) within 10 workdays of contract award commencement; CAC issuance requires, at minimum, a favorably adjudicated National Agency Check with Inquiries (NACI) or higher per Army Directive 2014-05.
• May NOT begin substantive work while CAC or system access is pending — this is a hard gate under this contract.
• Must complete Anti-Terrorism (AT) Level I awareness training within 30 calendar days of commencing performance.
• Must complete iWATCH training within 30 calendar days of contract award (new employees: within 10 calendar days of start, reported within 15 calendar days).
• Must register in the Army Training and Certification Tracking System (ATCTS) and complete DoD Information Assurance Awareness training prior to accessing Government information systems, and annually thereafter.
• Must maintain a professional appearance and conduct standard at all times (business casual or formal attire per USARCENT Headquarters Dress Code Policy); may not perform work under the influence of alcohol, illegal drugs, or other incapacitating agents.
• This is a non-personal-services position: the employee is accountable to the Contractor, not directly supervised by the Government.
