The People Generalist: usually the first friendly face an employee finds when something needs sorting out - a workplace concern that needs to be heard and documented, a benefits question, a leave that's just kicked in.

Employee relations sit at the heart of this role, handling intake, documentation, and case tracking across the US and Canada, then packaging up well-organized cases for the Senior Manager or legal counsel the moment things get complicated. Beyond that, the People Generalist keeps the everyday gears of HR turning - benefits administration, leave of absence coordination, and people data that’s actually clean - while lending a hand on immigration and visa case coordination alongside the Senior Manager, People Business Partnering & Operations, and outside counsel.

It's a role for someone who genuinely likes the follow-through: sharp on the details, trusted with sensitive information, and calm enough under a full plate that nothing slips through the cracks. Employee Relations

Additional Key Responsibilities

• Coordinate and help deliver open enrollment presentations and employee education sessions, including for the Roper Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP).
• Support leave of absence cases, including intake, tracking, compliance documentation, and coordination with payroll and people managers, providing status updates to managers throughout each leave.
• Maintain accurate, timely people data entry and record changes in Workday HCM (primary system of record), manually reconciling records with UKG to ensure consistency.
• Maintain and organize employee records across Workday and shared network drives in accordance…
