Experienced Senior Payroll Specialist
About us
Wynn Regional Medical Center (WRMC) is expanding and
looking to appoint someone to a new role to support the human
resource team in payroll administration.
Job Duties
We are looking for a flexible, data-driven senior payroll
specialist who will ensure efficient and timely payroll
processing in our company. Your roles and responsibilities will
include:
• Working under the payroll manager, you will process and

submit various WRMC's payrolls accurately and on time. For
instance, you will input data into databases and spreadsheets to
prepare and submit employee pensions and notifications such as
salary changes, new hires, and terminations. In addition, you
will act as a team leader in the absence of the Payroll Manager.
Comment by Lynne Croteau: Where are you getting your
information on a payroll specialist from?
• Creating and modifying spreadsheets to configure payroll
reports as required. You will review and verify wages and other
compensations for accuracy while making necessary corrections
using established procedures or journal entries. Comment by
Lynne Croteau: Where are you getting your information on a
payroll specialist from?
• Reconcile payroll regularly by making required
adjustments. For instance, you will analyze general ledgers,
payroll liability, and other accounts regarding payroll
transactions to ensure they are balanced. Comment by Lynne
Croteau: Where are you getting your information on a payroll
specialist from?
• Timely response to pay-related inquiries from payroll
manager, human resource manager, accounting, government,
third parties, and employees. For instance, you will use
knowledge and experience to interpret and manage
enhancements in procedures, processes, policies, and legislation
to ensure compliance. Besides, you train the payroll team
regarding the upgrades. Comment by Lynne Croteau: Where
are you getting your information on a payroll specialist from?
Education Requirements
The essential qualification for the position includes a
recognized bachelor's degree in business, accounti ng, finance,
or related field. In addition, the person must show evidence in
their career and professional development. Also, CPP Training,
Ceridian Day force, and Thomson Reuter's software experience
are preferred. We prefer degree specialization, but other
qualifications such as recognized diploma in payroll, CIPP
Diploma in Payroll, computerized payroll, or IAB Diploma in

Payroll are desirable. These desired qualifications must come
with 2 A-level passes and 3 GCSE passes at grades A*-C.
Comment by Lynne Croteau: Where did this come from?
Experience Requirements
This position requires 5-10 years of experience in a recognized
service professional environment. Also, more than five years of
experience working payroll systems, including Ceridian, excel,
Word, and complex payroll accounts, would be a more
significant asset. The position also requires Payroll Compliance
Practitioner (PCP) Certificate. Knowledge in leading and
managing a team is also required. Some previous experience in
accounting fundamentals, including principles, policies, and
legislation, is preferred. Comment by Lynne Croteau: Where
are you getting your information on a payroll specialist from?
Salary Range
According to Glassdoor Inc. (2021), the annual salary of senior
payroll specialists ranges from $39,000 to $78,000 based on the
State. Therefore, I would recommend a minimum wage of $50
000 and a maximum salary of $80,000 for the job holder. In
addition, a candidate receiving a total compensation should
have more years of experience, a higher education level, in-
demand skills, proficiency in payroll system upgrades, and
interpersonal skills. The first step to determining an appropriate
salary for a new position is establishing a starting salary range
based on the company's compensation philosophy and budget.
Also, we will conduct market research to determine the State
and competitors' average salaries for a similar position and
create a salary range based on research. Overall, we will offer
competitive and realistic benefits that reflect the applicant's
expectations and company. Comment by Lynne Croteau:
Remember in the live classroom session that I mentioned you
should make sure to have this Senior payroll specialist come in
at a salary MORE than the current payroll specialist? You
probably want to start at least the same salary as the current
payroll specialist since that person is going to report to this
Senior payroll specialist.

Rubric
Five Communication Strategy Recommendations
Overview: Your active participation in the two small group
discussions is essential to your overall success this term.
Discussion questions are designed to help you
make meaningful connections between the course content and
the larger concepts and goals of the course. These discussions
offer you the opportunity to
express your own thoughts, ask questions for clarification, and
gain insight from your classmates’ responses and instructor’s
guidance.
Small Group Guidelines
There are two small group discussions in this course, occurring
in Modules Four and Seven. For the two small group
discussions, you will work in small assigned
groups to complete specific tasks. These group discussions
support the incremental completion of the final project in this
course, the creation of an analysis and
negotiation coaching recommendations for executive leadership
due in Module Ten.
To prepare for each small group discussion, read the assigned
readings and write down notes that might be helpful as you craft
your post. After each small group
discussion, you will evaluate your own participation as well as
the members of your small group by filling out a group member
evaluation form, which you will
submit to your instructor by Sunday at 11:59 p.m. of your local
time zone during the same week of the small group discussion.
As you work on this assignment, keep in mind the following
guidelines: remember to be respectful of others and open to

different opinions, analyze the work
and not the individuals, focus on the facts of the case study, and
search for students’ answers that may be interesting and
surprising.
Prompt: For this first assignment, you will be working within
your assigned small group to develop five recommendations that
you will propose to Sharon Slade,
the chief human resources officer (CHRO) of Netflix.
Directions for this assignment are provided in the module as
well as in this document. There are several
requirements and deadlines for this small group discussion, so
be sure to follow them carefully to earn the maximum credit for
this assignment.

discussion.
Your group should post a list of potential recommendations by
11:59 p.m. by Thursday of the module week. Over the next few
days, review the
recommendations, offering suggestions, insights, and additional
points to consider. Then, work with members of your group to
finalize your list of your top five
recommendations by 11:59 p.m. on Sunday. You can use the
recommendations your group developed as you craft Section IV:
