WHAT ARE A PAYROLL MANAGER'S DUTIES?
Payroll managers are responsible for all of their organization's payroll processes. This may include monitoring pay periods using timesheets or automated calculators. They oversee the calculation of pay computations and make sure all documents are prepared and submitted on time. They also interact with employees and executives to answer payroll-related questions and report payroll trends.
CAN PAYROLL MANAGERS WORK REMOTELY?
Because payroll managers work with Internet-based payroll software and communications tools, payroll management is a common choice for remote or work from home job opportunities. ZipRecruiter.com reports that top payroll managers can earn up to $77,000 per year working remotely.
