- Support the Global Head Payroll with the delivery of end-to-end payroll processing across multiple countries (particularly the US).
- Make sure all payrolls are processed accurately, in accordance with local regulations.
- Review payroll outputs from the international offices, creating reconciliations and exception reports to identify and resolve issues.
- Support monthly, quarterly and year-end payroll activities internationally.
- Act as an escalation point for complex payroll issues, ensuring that they are resolved accurately, sensitively and within agreed timescales.
- Act as the subject matter expertise on US payroll processing and compliance requirements as well as supporting payroll activities across federal, state and local tax jurisdictions, with demonstrable experience of US multi-state payroll processing.
- Assist with payroll implications arising from employee mobility, including tax equalisation, shadow payrolls, split payrolls and social security considerations.
- Work closely with the wider HR team as well as the Finance, Tax and Global Mobility teams to ensure payroll impacts are correctly managed.
- Identify risks associated with employee global mobility and recommend appropriate solutions.
