A qualified payroll professional, operational immediately - so payroll runs without interruption, whatever the circumstances.

An unexpected departure of a payroll administrator, extended sick leave, an unfilled position, a temporary overload tied to a project: skills gaps in payroll arise without warning, and their consequences are immediate. Employees are waiting for their payslips. DSN filings cannot wait.

GBA Connect provides the profile suited to your situation - payroll administrator or interim payroll manager - available quickly, capable of taking ownership of your environment and ensuring production continuity under your organisation's usual conditions.

Who this offer is for

You are facing a sudden departure or extended absence in a key payroll role
Your recruitment is taking time and you cannot leave payroll without a competent operator
You are going through a peak activity period (merger, acquisition, HRIS deployment) and your team is overloaded
You want to secure the handover between two role-holders with a profile who guarantees continuity

Two profile types depending on your needs

The interim payroll administrator steps in to ensure operational production: processing variable pay elements, calculating payslips, issuing DSN filings, handling complex cases (retroactive adjustments, sick leave, final pay settlements). They integrate into your existing team and maintain your payroll's usual pace.

The interim payroll manager goes further: in addition to production, they take charge of managing the existing team, organising workloads, prioritising topics, and coordinating with your HR, CFO, and management stakeholders. This is the right answer when the vacant position is that of a payroll lead or senior reference.

What we put in place

Fast onboarding: analysis of your payroll environment (software, collective agreements, specific features) and rapid familiarisation with your context in minimum time
Maintained payroll production: processing of variable elements, payslip calculations, controls, payment transfers - in line with your usual deadlines
DSN and social declarations: production and submission of monthly and event-based DSN filings, monitoring of OPS responses
Complex case management: retroactive adjustments, sick leave, paid leave, final pay settlements - according to the complexity level of your payroll
Team management (manager profile): operational management of existing payroll administrators, workload organisation, priority and deadline management
Documentation and handover: formalisation of procedures during the assignment to facilitate onboarding for the incoming role-holder or the returning employee
Coordination with your teams: HR, CFO, managers - so the transition is transparent for the organisation

Client testimonials

"We lost our payroll manager overnight. In less than a week, GBA Connect had someone in place. That month's payroll went out on time, with no errors. While we recruited, we never had to explain to employees why their payslips were late."
