  • Support external audits, Fair Work reviews, or internal investigations related to payroll accuracy.
  • Maintain strict confidentiality of employee payroll information and remediation findings.

Systems & Process Improvement

  • Recommend process improvements to prevent recurrence of errors.

Reporting & Stakeholder Engagement

  • Communicate remediation outcomes to affected employees in a clear, empathetic, and transparent manner.
