Question 1
Typical interview questions.
- Experience with payroll
- Dealing with irate clients
- Handling secured information
- Attention to detail
The interview process took a few weeks and was a bit tedious. However, it was not difficult. There were just lots of steps to the different stages. However, everyone was super nice.
The interview went well. I met with payroll managers who asked both behavioural and technical questions. They created a fairly comfortable atmosphere, which helped me answer confidently and engage meaningfully throughout.

Question 1
What's the difference between lump sum and bonus taxation
How do you manage payroll deadlines
How do you handle confidential information
Started with and over the phone interview, where the recruiter asked if I had questions. Once I began to ask a question she cut me off and said the hiring manager would actually be answering any questions you might have. Okay sure. Next step of the process was I needed to do a video interview. We agreed upon a time of midafternoon. A few hours before my scheduled time I get an email saying actually she’s not available at this time anymore, we’re signing you up for this time. A time I wasn’t available as I take night classes. Next day I get an email saying I’m no longer being considered. Was a highly unprofessional process.
