About Abby Grassmeyer

With over a decade of experience in human resources, I am passionate about designing and managing innovative payroll, benefits, and compliance strategies that align with organizational goals. As the Assistant Vice President of Payroll, Benefits & Compliance at F&G, I lead transformative initiatives that enhance employee well-being and organizational efficiency. My certification as a Professional in Human Resources (PHR) and participation in the LOMA Benefits Committee reflect my commitment to fostering a compliant, fair, and inclusive workplace. I strive to contribute diverse perspectives while ensuring operational excellence across HR functions. At F&G, I oversee multi-state payroll operations for over 1,200 employees and manage a comprehensive benefits suite, including self-funded health plans, executive compensation, and retirement programs. Leveraging deep expertise in ADP Workforce Now and a strong foundation in HR compliance, I guide SOX reporting, 401(k) audits, and evolving labor law adherence. My role emphasizes collaboration, strategic governance, and fostering a culture of compliance and innovation within the enterprise.
