What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a fully remote payroll administration, payroll support or payroll specialist role.

At First National Battery, I oversee national payroll for salaried and hourly employees, processing salary and wage payments accurately and on time. I also manage payroll reconciliations, EFT transfers and third-party payments.

I process payroll journals in JDE and complete EMP submissions. I prepare Workman's Compensation submissions and payroll and management reports for Exco.

Earlier at First National Battery, I managed weekly and monthly payroll for hourly employees, maintained payroll records and resolved employee queries. I also prepared labour and cost reports, journals and provisions.

Across payroll roles at Comau SA Body Systems and Lear Corporation, I handled payroll administration alongside attendance records and personnel files. I bring hands-on experience with Sage 300 People, Sage Payroll, Accsys, Q-LINK and advanced Excel.
