Remote, Oregon, United States Check Full time

Check is leading a revolution in the payroll industry. Payroll is the backbone of the US economy, and yet it has not undergone significant innovation in decades. We invented the embedded payroll space to change that (see: Check: Solving the $150 Billion Payroll Problem, Bank On It; Episode 438), both for the business owners who spend countless hours per week running payroll and for the millions of Americans who depend on their next paycheck. At Check, our mission is to empower the most innovative software platforms to create new payroll businesses, and enable those businesses to transform the way companies pay their employees.

Check's culture is intensely caring: to each other as teammates, to our partners, and to the businesses and workers we serve. Our teams are made up of creative problem solvers and empathetic cross-functional collaborators who can simplify the complexities of payroll. We bring hustle and grit to our day-to-day, while building enduring solutions and relationships.


Check is seeking a dedicated Research Analyst (Part-Time) to join our team. In this role, you'll contribute to impactful research projects. We're seeking a curious, detail-oriented individual eager to make a significant difference.

In this role, you will:

  • Research and Track: Identify and monitor payroll requirements for calculation and reporting at the state and local levels.
  • Assist: Contribute to 50-state research projects by investigating requirements and updating databases.
  • Analyze: Perform lightweight analysis and interpretation of payroll tax requirements as needed.
  • Collect and Review: Gather and verify payroll data to ensure accuracy based on project requirements.
  • Utilize: Employ research tools and methodologies to maintain an updated database reflecting changes in payroll tax and reporting requirements.

Many backgrounds could fit this role, but ideal candidates will have some or all of the following:

  • Experience in research, preferably in tax or payroll
  • Ability to prioritize tasks and meet deadlines
  • Understanding of the payroll or tax sector
  • Flexibility and adaptability to new research tools and methodologies
  • Proficiency with databases or spreadsheets
  • Basic data analysis and interpretation skills
  • Attention to detail in data collection
  • This is a part-time position, with 20 hours per week expected.

What we offer:

The hourly compensation for this role is dependent on each candidate's experience, qualifications, and work location:

  • The expected range in San Francisco, NYC, LA, and Seattle is between $21 and $23.
  • The expected range for all other locations is between $18 and $20.

We accept applications on an ongoing basis with no specified deadline.
