Summary

Personal Information: As an EMEA Payroll Consultant, I manage the payrolls of several major European countries (UK, France, Bulgaria, Switzerland, Sweden, Netherlands, Spain, Germany, and UAE). I have over ten years of payroll experience. Apart from regular operations, I was responsible for payroll audits and the successful TUPE transfers of multiple EMEA countries. In addition to the project and operations, I collaborated with government agencies and the mobility team to ensure compliance was managed in both the home and host countries. I want to make sure that all employees are paid correctly and on time. Furthermore, I provide all parties with the necessary payroll information so that they have the necessary information. My next position will be in management because I possess the necessary abilities and technical skills.
