passionate about her job

“With 15 years of experience in payroll management, this was a great opportunity to combine my passion for payroll administration with my studies in educational psychology. Payroll on the ground is an innovative project that offers payroll consulting services while training and supporting payroll teams, or future payroll officers, with a focus on autonomy and performance. Our added value lies in establishing a structure and sustainable autonomy for your payroll department.”

Shaï Gerena,

focus on people

“As an HR admin and payroll officer, my primary goal is to find quick and practical solutions, anticipate the unexpected and simplify the daily lives of teams. I am thorough, organised and detail-oriented, but also flexible and attentive, because the human dimension is central to my work. Thanks to my experience in different environments, I have developed a structured and pragmatic approach to HR management that is always results-oriented.”

We take care of everything

Our mission is to enhance your competitiveness and performance by freeing you from all payroll related constraints, allowing you to focus on your core business. We handle all complex and evolving aspects of payroll, from field operations to optimizing your payroll officers’ skills. To achieve this, we offer 3 services to cover as many of your needs as possible : consultancy, training, assessment and field coaching.

Your trusted partner focused on people

As a privileged partner with 15 years of experiencewe support you through all stages of your company’s life via salary payments, never losing sight of our philosophy and values centered on people :

regarding your employees : because, in our view, payroll isn’t just a payslip; it’s primarily the lives of families behind those payslips. We prioritize the human aspect and, in this perspective, work solely focused on the satisfaction of your company’s employees,
regarding your payroll officer team : with whom we share all our experience to develop their expertise by consolidating and perfecting their field skills, helping them innovate and optimize their work tools, making them assertive, autonomous, proactive, solution-oriented, and client-focused. This enables them to deliver accurate payrolls on time, even in the face of unforeseen events.

Maëlle de Harlez, passionate about her profession

“With 15 years of experience in payroll management and in implementing and optimizing payroll tools, I seized the tremendous opportunity to combine my passion for the payroll officer profession with my studies in psychopedagogy. Payroll On the Ground is an initiating project aimed at optimizing both knowledge and the technical and cross-functional skills necessary for this role. With years of expertise in the payroll field, I know that success depends as much on knowledge as on its practical application. Therefore, I developed a holistic approach that targets the payroll officer’s needs to personalize their support and boost their field performance.”

Services offered by payroll officers for payroll officers

To this end, I developed three customizable services that are both complementary and autonomous:

trainings developed around innovative pedagogy based on the “learning by doing” principle, immersing participants in field-based learning that reflects the specifics of their work environment,
assessment and field coaching that provide a 360° diagnosis of your payroll team’s skills to optimize their potential while focusing on individual development for a strong and motivated team,
consultancy services, for rapid end-to-end management of your current payroll in case of absence or exceptional workload.
