With 50% of Canadians living paycheque to paycheque, your ability to make sure that every employee is paid accurately and on time helps keep many Canadians afloat financially.
To celebrate we thought it would be fun to breakdown the anatomy of a Payroll Superhero.

- Analytical, can produce a payroll GL or headcount report in a single bound.
- A good listener who never stops learning. Always lends an ear and provides excellent service to all employees.
- Greets everyone with a smile. Even when they’re up their neck in deadlines, the Payroll Superhero never complains.
Eyes & 3-D Glasses
- Equipped with an eye for detail, can spot an error on a pay register from kilometres away.
- Always keeps an eye out for ways to ensure the organization stays compliant.
- A Payroll Superhero always enjoys an 80’s throwback.
