Sawant Buddy

I’m a Payroll Administrator with 1+ year of hands-on experience managing end-to-end payroll cycles, attendance verification, and employee records in a fast-paced environment. I focus on delivering 100% accurate salary disbursements while following internal guidelines and statutory compliance.

I build and maintain payroll worksheets in Advanced Excel using Pivot Tables, VLOOKUP, IF functions, and data validation to minimize manual errors. I maintain employee master records—salary structures, deductions, allowances, and leave balances—to keep data integrity strong, and I serve as the primary point of contact for payroll queries.

When discrepancies appear, I don’t just fix them—I run Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and implement preventive corrective actions to avoid recurrence. I also prepare monthly payroll summary reports covering headcount, salary outflow, deductions, and variance analysis, and maintain a structured payroll calendar to ensure timely submissions and approvals.

My achievements reflect reliability and ownership: I delivered zero payroll processing errors through rigorous double-verification, designed a standardized Excel timesheet template that reduced data collection time by ~30% while improving accuracy, and consistently met monthly payroll deadlines without exception. I’m now seeking a growth-oriented role in Payroll, HR Operations, or Finance Administration where I can keep improving processes and reporting while staying current with Indian labour law and payroll compliance.
