A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A PAYTECH PROJECT MANAGER

As a PayTech Project Manager, you will bring more than just your project management experience to PayTech.  You will also add your HCM experience to our diverse team in areas such as HR, Payroll, Benefits, and Consulting.  Not only will you strategically manage projects of varying complexities while acting on behalf of the client, you will also perform tactical activities which the client may not have the staff and/ or time to accomplish.  We always leave our clients with a sense of relief and feeling of empowerment to successfully continue their strategic objectives.  You will feel like a hero after each engagement!

PayTech offers many services in the Project Management arena.  The larger-scale projects include HCM system implementations, optimizations, and post-implementation support.  Some of the smaller projects would be managing the implementation of a particular module of an HCM system, open enrollment setup, augmented training, or providing implementation support in a consultative role.  Regardless of the project type, we meld our strategic management and tactical abilities to provide the most value to our clients.

To get a good feel for what a day in the life of a Project Manager at PayTech looks like, we will use an Optimization and Implementation of Recommendations as our example.  This service requires functional, analytical, and tactical skills and represents typical functions in nearly every project we encounter.  PayTech’s Optimization service is a thorough analysis of a client’s systems, processes, and people that support HR and Payroll.  You are the PayTech HERO assigned to support this engagement! You will look at the full employee life cycle, shadowing with the individuals who process payroll, run reports, interface with other departments, etc.

The Project Manager typically will be on-site with the client initially to interview subject matter experts in payroll, HR, accounting, and/or anyone else who may be involved with the entire employee life cycle.  The purpose is to gain knowledge of how the client is currently doing business.  Once you have completed all the interviews, you will analyze each area to determine if and how the client can be performing tasks more efficiently and/ or with less risk than in the current state.  These may include opportunities for automation, data cleanup, additional training, etc.  For each item that could be improved, you will determine what the best method is to correct or improve the issue and identify what the positive business impact would be if the change is implemented.

Once the client agrees on the recommendations to implement, a project plan is created to move forward with the implementation items.  During this phase of the project, you will be navigating the HCM system, configuring changes to foundation tables, testing the changes, creating reports, and executing additional tactical elements.  You will also be strategically tracking the progress of the project, meeting with the client frequently, acting as the liaison between the client and the vendor project team, ensuring the project milestones are met on time and within budget, and interfacing with the client’s Executive team.  Travel on engagements is dependent on the needs of the client and can vary from engagement to engagement.

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A PAYTECH SR. PAYROLL CONSULTANT

As a PayTech Senior Payroll Consultant, imagine yourself in the following scenario.   PayTech’s client’s payroll manager has just given two weeks’ notice and they need a highly skilled person to backfill the role ASAP, until a permanent replacement has been hired. The client needs someone to hit the ground running so ADP and/or Ceridian and/or Ultimate expertise is critical.  The Hero they need is YOU!

During your time at the client, you are tapping into your vast payroll experience, and ideally, your FPC or CPM certification, to provide technical expertise to deliver quality and timely payrolls in their challenging environment. Your ability to get into the details and process the payroll independently is critical and your management experience allows you to delegate workload to other processors and motivate them to meet departmental goals. Your client appreciates that you have experience with year-end preparation, union contracts, and resolving complicated payroll tax notices.

Throughout your time at the client, your broad and deep payroll expertise allows you to compare payroll best practices to client practices, and you’ll document suggested process improvements and metrics via Weekly Status Reports using MSWord to communicate them to the client.

Your professional and tactful communication skills will not only be demonstrated in written form but are critical to verbal conversations required to communicate within every level of the client’s organizational structure. Your work will be of such high quality and efficiency standards, that our client extends your engagement to six months as they find the perfect candidate. Of course, the client really wants to hire you on full-time, but they can’t because there are other clients who need your expertise! This is just one of the many scenarios that our Senior Payroll Consultants assist our clients with!
