Yeled Salient IT Services
Internal Role • Non-Technical

Payroll Systems Analyst

The person who understands what's actually happening

The Role

Understand what Yeled does and explain it simply
You learn how payroll, HR, and accounting actually work at Yeled—not the theory, but the real day-to-day. You become the person who can explain it clearly to leadership and staff alike.
Know when ExcelForce is the problem (and when it isn't)
Most issues blamed on ExcelForce are actually caused internally—timing, manual steps, retroactive changes, or process misunderstandings. You figure out which is which so we stop blaming the vendor for our own gaps.
Be the single source of truth
When the CTO asks "what's going on with payroll?"—you have the answer. No more asking five people and getting five different stories.

What You Do

Review tickets and ask the right questions
You work in the Jira queue. When issues come in, you ask clarifying questions to understand: Is this user error? A timing issue? Something that's happened before? A real system problem?
Decide what actually needs to go to ExcelForce
You filter out the noise. Only real system issues get escalated. You communicate with the vendor calmly and with clear information—not in panic mode.
Write things down so we stop repeating mistakes
Root causes, workarounds, "this is just how it works" limitations. You document it so the next time this happens, we already know the answer.
Explain complex things simply
How does time entry flow to payroll to accounting? Why did this person's check get messed up? You can explain it so a non-technical person understands.

What You're Like

You figure things out
You don't need perfect documentation. You can learn by watching, asking, and piecing together how messy real-world processes actually work.
You communicate clearly
You write well. You ask questions that get to the point without making people defensive. You explain things so they stick.
You stay calm when others don't
Payroll issues stress people out. You're the steady presence—methodical, not reactive, never adversarial.
You don't need to be technical
This isn't a coding role. We have developers for that. You need to understand systems and processes, not build them.

Success Looks Like

Vendor blame
↓ Less finger-pointing
Same issues recurring
↓ "We've seen this before"
CTO clarity
↑ One person to ask
Team trust
↑ Calm, respected voice
This role doesn't replace anyone. You don't do payroll. You don't replace ExcelForce. You don't write code. You make everyone else's job easier by being the person who actually understands how it all connects.
