Workflow monitoring and troubleshooting Monitor the automated workflows behind recurring HR processes (e.g. payroll checks, employee updates in HRIS). Review outputs, catch errors, and work out whether the cause is data, configuration or logic. Hand issues you can't resolve to the team that develops these workflows, with a clear diagnosis, and log recurring failures so they get fixed at the source. Document how each workflow runs and how to fix common issues, so someone else can pick it up. HR operations across four markets Keep employee data in our HRIS accurate (personnel files, job status changes) and produce monthly reporting. Run onboarding and offboarding in each market: contracts, documents, benefits enrolment, exit clearances, and the statutory filings each market requires. Work with local payroll, benefits and legal providers where needed. Check monthly payroll for each market against source data and resolve discrepancies before sign-off. Where payroll is not yet automated, prepare the inputs with the local provider until it is. Manage benefits vendors in each market: coordinate renewals (quotes, comparison, recommendation) and handle enrolment and claims queries. Keep us audit-ready by regularly checking employee files, payroll records and leave balances. Track regulatory changes in each market, working with local providers and the HRBP where needed. Handle routine requests (employment letters, leave balances, document requests, system access) using policies and established workflows. Pass anything needing judgement to the relevant HRBP, with the relevant details. Lifecycle and KL office Welcome new joiners to the KL office on Day 1 and handle KL exit logistics (hardware, access cards, IT handoffs). Work alongside our dedicated workplace contractor: provide backup coverage and be the point of contact for the KL office, including occasional hands-on tasks.
