Payroll Managers are expected to oversee and supervise the company's payroll functions. They work with Human Resources to design and operate payroll systems, directing collections, and gather employee time data.

The Payroll Manager's Role

Experienced Payroll Managers also audit the payroll system, recommend improvements, and implement new processes when necessary.
