• Review payroll data for accuracy, resolve discrepancies promptly, and help protect timely completion of critical payroll deadlines.

• Respond to payroll questions from employees and stakeholders with attention to detail and professionalism.

• Monitor changes affecting pay, benefits, and employee status so they are reflected properly in each payroll cycle.
