• Validate payroll and employee data to ensure accuracy before go-live.
• Ensure compliance with Canadian and U.S. payroll legislation throughout the implementation process.
• Build and validate HR and Finance reporting, including payroll accruals and time-off bank reporting.
• Partner with upper management and the current Payroll Lead to streamline payroll processes and support a successful transition.
• Identify and resolve implementation issues while maintaining project timelines.
