• Support for payroll-related questions for managers and employees in the organization
• Quality assurance of information according to our procedures and regulations
• Administration of certificates, employment certificates, and other employment-related documents

You are confident as a person and remain stable even in changing or uncertain situations. Through your professional approach, you contribute to good teamwork and build trust with colleagues and the organization.
