Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Helping run the payroll for around 10,000 employees across the UK whilst staying compliant with different legislations. Work closely with other corporate and hotel teams to input employee data into the system to ensure employees are paid correctly. Analysing employee data for variances in pay and investigating why this may be. Working with HMRC and adapting to legislation updates to stay compliant.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I took on tasks often performed by the analysts on the team and occasionally picked up tasks performed by the senior analysts. I also got the opportunity to train new analysts coming into the team which was a great responsibility to enhance my skills.
