To prepare his or her payroll, he or she benefits from various upstream tools (HRIS, time and absence management system, leave management software, etc.)

The Payroll Manager calculates social charges by drawing up the company’s nominative social declaration (DSN) and pays the contributions to the various funds.

Finally, he/she is responsible for ensuring that labour legislation is properly applied in terms of pay and declarations, and that the company’s social rules and agreements relating to remuneration are applied.

The Payroll Manager is sometimes assisted in his mission by Payroll Managers whom he manages.
