@daguodong
I deliver accurate, compliant payroll and HR data administration across complex unionized multi-province organizations.
What I'm looking for
I've delivered payroll, benefits, and HR data support for SNDL, YMCA Northern Alberta, Finning Canada, Alberta Municipalities, and Western Noise Control.
At SNDL, I supported multiple entities using Workday, ADP, and Payworks, applying collective bargaining agreements and employment standards for more than 1,700 employees across Alberta, British Columbia, and Ontario.
I investigate payroll discrepancies, calculate retroactive pay and partial-period salaries, audit compensation and SIN data, and turn findings into practical process improvements for Shared Services leadership.
I'm pursuing a Human Resource Management Diploma toward CPHR certification while bringing hands-on experience with employee lifecycle transactions, payroll compliance, benefit reconciliation, SOPs, and stakeholder guidance.
