I have a qualification in Bcom Industrial Psychology and I pursued an HR career which led me to Payroll as they interrelate.

I check emails for anything that needs to be attended to urgently, and then I start data capturing the employees’ input such as overtime, leave taken, travel and subsistence expenses, loan deductions etc.
3. To do my job, you have to love…
Working with numbers and be people-oriented because salaries do affect peoples’ emotions.
