Workday HCM–certified payroll specialist experienced in US multi-state payroll, compliance, and global operations.
What I'm looking for
I am a Workday HCM–certified Payroll Specialist with over three years of hands-on experience managing US multi-state payroll and global workforce operations. I excel in end-to-end payroll cycles, reconciliations, and ensuring statutory compliance across federal and state regulations.
At Agile IT Service LLC, I managed payroll for 150+ multi-state employees using ADP, maintained audit-ready records, and partnered closely with HR and Finance to resolve discrepancies and streamline workflows. I also coordinated 100+ immigration cases, supporting workforce mobility and compliance with USCIS and DOL requirements.
My background includes HR operations—onboarding, offboarding, I-9 verification, benefits administration (health, 401k), and maintaining HRIS data in Workday. I produce payroll reports, MIS dashboards, and variance analyses that inform leadership decision-making.
I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Management (Banking and Finance) and a B.Com (Honours). I am continuing professional development in Financial Analytics with Python and Advanced Excel, and I bring a detail-oriented, compliance-first approach to scalable payroll and global payroll/EOR environments.
