Employed as an EMEA Payroll Specialist, I was assigned the Payrolls of Denmark, Finland, Kuwait, Norway, Poland, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sweden and the United Arab Emirates. Working with the 3rd Party Payroll Providers, I ran Fusion and Overtime Reports in order to pick up any New Hires, Terminations, Assignment and Salary Changes recorded by the HR team and Overtime recorded on Oracle which has been authorised by the employees’ Managers, which were then sent via the HRMD and P&D Templates respectively to the 3rd Party Payroll Providers for application in the upcoming Payroll(s) within the agreed timeframe.I was responsible for the Gross-To-Net checks, Funding Requests, Currency Conversion, General Ledgers and Costings for each of my designated 9 Payrolls. Additionally, I was the first point of contact in relation to employee queries relating to their Pay, missing Overtime, ePay Access, etc.

As a Payroll Officer, my tasks included updating and correcting the Company Vehicle records on the VICTOR system, administering all Childcare Voucher changes and applications and assessing and applying the correct Tax rates based on their earnings, ensuring the smooth processing of New Starters and Leavers as-per instruction from the PeopleSoft HR Database, applying Starter Declarations and Student Loans, spot-checking the Overtime payments and Tax, National Insurance and Pension deductions for accuracy, applying Employment Support Allowance deductions upon the exhaustion of Company Sick-Pay, and applying Attachment of Earnings Orders, Deduction from Earnings Orders, Direct Earnings Attachments and Council Tax Orders for processing.During my time as a Payroll Processing Analyst, my focus was on the processing and completion of both the company’s Weekly and Month pay-runs, as well as the completion of all required pre and post pay-run tasks, from start-to-finish.I processed Batch payments for Travel, extracted and processed all recorded data from the MARS Attendance system and the Salaried Time Statement interface file, collected and processed retro-active changes for Payments and Deductions, updated National Insurance categories, updated Tax codes and earnings as-per instruction from H.M.R.C, produced the Gross-to-Net Reports and the BACS file, ran both Test and Final pay-runs, uploaded ePayslips, produced and distributed P45’s, produced Costings Reports, sent Pension and 3rd Party Contributions and Breakdowns, and collated and transmitted both EPS and FPS to H.M.R.C by the required legal deadlines.
