Employee Relations Specialist

At TransUnion, we strive to build an environment where our associates are in the driver's seat of their professional development, while having access to help along the way. We encourage everyone to pursue passions and take ownership of their careers. With the support of colleagues and mentors, our associates are given the tools needed to get where they want to go. Regardless of job titles, our associates have the opportunity to learn new things and be a leader every day.

As an Employee Relations Specialist, you will be a key member of the Employee Relations Center of Excellence who provides specialized guidance and support to associates, managers and HR professionals on employee relations and workplace matters. You will review and respond to sensitive associate issues, ensure compliance with employment obligations, and support human resources initiatives that foster a positive, fair and compliant work environment. You will also influence employment policies and practices that align with TransUnion's values and business goals.

What You'll Bring :

  • 5+ years of experience advising on Employee Relations and corrective action across multiple jurisdictions.
  • Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business, or a related field.
  • Familiarity with relevant employment laws (e.g., Title VII, ADA, FMLA).
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel (pivot tables, VLOOKUP) and PowerPoint.
  • Experience using HR Acuity or similar case management systems.
  • Ability to work independently, prioritize effectively, and meet deadlines in a fast-paced, matrixed environment.
  • Ability to manage sensitive matters with discretion and professionalism.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, analytical thinking and attention to detail.
  • Experience with mandatory reporting requirements (e.g., EEO-1, AAP, VETS-4212).

Impact You'll Make :

  • Act as a trusted partner to associates, managers and CoEs by providing consultative support on employee relations matters including performance, corrective action, employment policy interpretation, and conflict resolution.
  • Support enforcement of company policies and procedures to help maintain a positive work environment and ensure consistent and equitable treatment of associates.
  • Draft and review performance management documentation, including corrective action and termination notices.
  • Review workplace complaints and issues. Recommend and facilitate appropriate resolution.
  • Conduct and provide guidance on reasonable accommodation processes, and advise on leave-related matters, in compliance with ADA, Title VII, PWFA, FMLA, and related laws.
  • Manage the employee relations case management system, ensuring accurate documentation, timely issue resolution. Analyze the data and identify trends and recommend proactive solutions to support a positive workplace culture. Provide quarterly analysis and reporting.
  • Support reduction-in-force activities, including separation documentation, severance calculations, and coordination of outplacement services.
  • Fulfill annual reporting requirements, including OFCCP, AAP, EEO-1, VETS-4212, and state pay data. Recommend program improvements based on data and findings.
  • Assist responses to internal and external requests for records and information, including audits and subpoenas.
  • Support development and delivery of training and information sessions on HR initiatives to educate associates and leaders on HR initiatives, workplace matters and best practices.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally on enterprise-wide HR initiatives.
  • Qualified applicants with arrest or conviction records will be considered for employment in accordance with applicable law, including the Los Angeles County Fair Chance Ordinance for Employers, the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance, Fair Chance Initiative for Hiring Ordinance, and the California Fair Chance Act.

    Adherence to Company policies, sound judgment and trustworthiness, working safely, communicating respectfully, and safeguarding business operations, confidential and proprietary information, and the Company's reputation are also essential expectations of this position.

    This is a hybrid position and involves regular performance of job responsibilities virtually as well as in-person at an assigned TU office location for a minimum of two days a week.

    TransUnion provides flexible benefits including flexible time off for exempt associates, paid time off for non-exempt associates, up to 12 paid holidays per year, health benefits (including medical, dental, and vision plan options and health spending accounts), mental health support, disability benefits, up to 12 weeks of paid parental leave, adoption assistance, fertility planning coverage, legal benefits, long-term care insurance, commuter benefits, tuition reimbursement, charity gift matching, employee stock purchase plan, 401(k) retirement savings with employer match, and access to TransUnion's Employee Resource Groups. Spousal, domestic partner, and other eligible dependent coverage is available on select health and welfare plans.

    We are committed to being a place where diversity is not only present, it is embraced. As an equal opportunity employer, all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability status, veteran status, genetic information, marital status, citizenship status, sexual orientation, gender identity or any other characteristic protected by law. Additionally, in accordance with Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, TransUnion takes affirmative action to employ and advance in employment qualified individuals with a disability and protected veterans in all levels of employment and develops annual affirmative action plans.

    The U.S. base salary range for this position is $72,300.00 - $105,000.00 annually. The salary range for this position reflects a reasonable estimate of the range of compensation for this job. At TransUnion, actual compensation is based on careful consideration of additional factors such as (but not limited to) an individual's education, training, work experience, job-related skill set, location, and industry knowledge, as well as the scope and responsibilities of the position and market considerations. Regular, fulltime non-sales positions may be eligible to participate in TransUnion's annual bonus plan.
