Samples payroll across a year and tests rates, deductions and overtime. A fresh pair of experienced eyes is needed, and the result is a document or file the team can use straight away. It is an insurer, so accuracy and an audit trail come before speed. The work is fully remote. Any location in Canada works, with a few hours of overlap with the team's day. Most people do this on weekday evenings; replies inside the working day are not expected. ## What you deliver - Audit 12 months of payroll for 40 employees and report rate errors, missed deductions and overtime issues. - The finished deliverable in the agreed file format, with sources and assumptions listed - A final note stating what was checked and what was left out of scope - One round of edits after the company's review is included ## How the work runs - Day 1: scope confirmed in writing, files shared - Middle of the period: draft shared for early feedback - Last day: final version and handover note **Duration:** 2 to 3 weeks.
