Samples payroll across a year and tests rates, deductions and overtime. The work is too small to justify a hire and too important to leave to chance. The company sells subscription software, so deadlines follow release and billing cycles. 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. About 1 hour a week should overlap with the team's day (ET). ## What you deliver - Audit 8 months of payroll for 25 employees and report rate errors, missed deductions and overtime issues. - One round of edits after the company's review is included - A 20-minute walkthrough call, or a recorded screen share if you prefer - A final note stating what was checked and what was left out of scope ## 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. Accepted after the walkthrough. Edits requested within three working days are part of the price. ## Tools Excel ADP ## Who fits - 5-10 years of hands-on work as a Payroll Specialist, or the equivalent mix of roles - Comfortable working in Excel and ADP - Your own work history stays private; the company sees a first name, your field and a rate ### Nice to have - Experience in a similar industry - A habit of asking one clarifying question early rather than five late ## Not included - Work outside the scope written in the brief; extra items are quoted separately - Anything that needs a signature in your own name unless the brief says so - Travel or work at a fixed location ## How you get paid - The company prepays Deftridge before your first hour, so payment does not depend on a late invoice. - Deftridge pays you in CAD after the company confirms the hours or the deliverable.
