Role:

As Payroll Manager at our ROCKEN partner, you are responsible for the entire payroll processing for several Swiss companies in different cantons. You ensure timely salary payments, correct annual reports, and effective controls. In Zug, you coordinate collaboration with HR, Finance, and external service providers and further develop processes in Abacus. With analyses of personnel costs and payroll key figures, you support management in financial decisions.

Responsibilities:

• You conduct the monthly payroll runs for various employee groups from recording variable salary data to checking payments and providing electronic payslips.

• You regularly coordinate with AHV offices, pension funds, insurance companies, and tax authorities. You check family allowances and insurance premiums and prepare annual reports and salary certificates.

• During the annual salary review, you check and update compensation data and prepare the corresponding notifications. For the long-term participation programme, you calculate stock allocations, coordinate stock sales to cover taxes, and prepare tax documents.

• After payroll runs, you provide Finance with booking data and personnel costs, reconcile relevant accounts, and process invoices for withholding tax and pension fund contributions.

• You manage operational collaboration with Fidigit, Abacus, and other service providers. You coordinate system updates, configuration changes, and tests and track issues until resolution.
