The position will help process payroll. Tools that are used are Workforce Software (Time & Attendance), Workday (our HR system) and ADP EV6 (our payroll processing vendor). This role will help to resolve exceptions, analysis of pay, adjustments for leaves, terminations, amendments, etc. What would "a day in the life" of this role look like?
