  • Utilize expertise in SAP payroll to provide insights and guidance on best practices, potential risks, and mitigation strategies.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including People and Culture, IT, and
  • Finance, to ensure a holistic approach to payroll testing.
  • Analyse test results, identify discrepancies, and drive resolution of issues prior to go-live.
