My job can vary on a day to day basis given the nature of working in a very busy payroll office. My role as Supervisor involves ensuring that the team work well together, often to very tight deadlines with a monthly end goal of producing an accurate and timely payroll.

Payroll has very strict timescales in place, as well as important processes to complete at various stages of each month.

I have been involved in quite a few projects in payroll, a lot of which have seen many manual processes becoming more automated. When I first started in Almac, although we only had a third of the workforce that we have now, all our payroll processes were manual. The introduction of a digital Time Management System was a great project to be part of.

This past year has also seen the opening of our Dundalk site and the necessity for a ROI Payroll.  Although I had some experience of doing ROI payroll before, my knowledge was somewhat out of date and I have enjoyed the challenge of updating my skills along with involving myself in the training and mentoring of other members of my team.
