Description
ADP is seeking a true hands-on SAP S/4HANA Payroll Consultant with deep expertise in US Payroll schemas, rules, and configuration to support GlobalView clients.

- Navigate differences between ECC vs S/4HANA Payroll
- Understand Fiori apps, payroll control center (PCC), and architecture differences

Client Advisory (SME-Level)
- Explain why payroll behaves a certain way, not just fix it
- Advise on best practices and implications of configuration decisions

Leadership
- Mentor junior consultants specifically in:

- Wage type configuration and processing
- Proven ability to:
- Debug payroll results in clusters and logs
- Configure solutions independently
Disqualifiers
- No experience working directly in schemas (PE01) or PCRs

- Experience limited to HR admin or data entry
What We Will Test You On
- Real configuration scenarios
- Schema interpretation
- Payroll calculation debugging
- Understanding of wage type flow and processing logic
Interview Process
