What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters growth, offers challenges, and values compliance.

I am a dedicated HR Officer with a strong background in payroll administration and human resources management. Over the years, I have honed my skills in various HR functions, including recruitment, compliance with employment legislation, and payroll processing. My experience spans across multiple industries, where I have successfully managed payroll systems and ensured statutory compliance.

At Ilanga Technologies, I played a pivotal role in recruitment and HR administration, ensuring adherence to the Employment Equity Act and managing payroll for expatriates and local employees. My ability to maintain accurate payroll databases and manage employee data has been instrumental in streamlining HR processes. I am currently pursuing a Higher Certificate in Human Resources Management to further enhance my skills and knowledge in the field.
