  • Compliance - Ensure that all payroll processes adhere to local and international tax and labor laws, keeping up-to-date with any changes.
  • Data Migration - Oversee the migration of payroll data from legacy systems to the new global payroll system, ensuring data accuracy and security.
  • Testing - Develop and execute a comprehensive testing plan to identify and resolve system issues, ensuring a smooth transition to the new payroll system.
  • Change Management - Implement change management strategies to ensure a seamless transition for employees and HR teams.
