• Lead payroll testing and analytical review activities, including system transitions (e.g., Preceda to ADP), to ensure data integrity, identify discrepancies, and support continuous improvement. 

• Provide expert support across payroll systems and workflows, including Workday to Preceda integration, system administration, and troubleshooting to resolve issues efficiently. 

• Ensure legislative and audit compliance, staying informed of regulatory changes, meeting audit requirements, and managing year-end processes such as reconciliations and issuing payment summaries. 

• Deliver specialist payroll advice and training, supporting team development, coaching staff, and assisting customers with EBA interpretation and payroll-related queries. 

• Produce accurate and timely reporting, including termination and redundancy calculations, general ledger reconciliations, and statutory reports (e.g., ABS), while maintaining current SOPs.
