Payroll Specialist

About this role

Finance owns planning, control, statutory compliance and the books — across several countries and currencies.

Run payroll across the countries we employ in, correctly and on time. There is very little tolerance for error in this one.

We employ in multiple jurisdictions, earn in some currencies and pay salaries in others. Payroll accuracy and statutory filing are not negotiable, and the audit trail has to hold.

Primary responsibilities

• Run payroll accurately and on time across the jurisdictions we employ in
• Handle statutory deductions and filings — provident fund, ESI, professional tax and income tax withholding in India, and the equivalents elsewhere
• Process joiners, leavers and mid-cycle changes, including full and final settlement
• Handle site payroll properly, where attendance, shift allowance and overtime come from a time office rather than a system
• Answer payroll queries quickly and confidentially — this is somebody's salary and it matters to them
• Reconcile payroll to the ledger every cycle
