Payroll Implementation Associate

About
Interloop

Interloop is a People, Process, and Technology consulting firm building
the operating systems behind ambitious businesses. With offices in India and
the UAE and seven consecutive years of profitable growth, we work with founders
and CXOs across startups, SMBs, and mid-market enterprises.

We work
across two critical business processes — people productivity (HR Ops) and
revenue growth (Revenue Ops) — and layer technology transformation on top.
Think of us as the full-stack consulting partner for organizations ready to
modernize how they operate.

We're now
evolving from a services firm into a product-led organization, building
proprietary solutions for scale. For the people joining us at this stage, the
trajectory is rare — CXO-level exposure, real ownership, and a front-row seat
to how a business actually grows.

The Role

Payroll is
the one process a company cannot get wrong. As a Payroll Implementation
Associate, you'll set up Zoho Payroll for client organizations — designing
salary structures, configuring statutory compliance, migrating data from
spreadsheets and legacy systems, and running the first payroll cycles until the
numbers reconcile to the rupee. You'll then train the client's team to run it
themselves. Precision work, real stakes, and a client who notices when you get
it right.

Implementation & Configuration:

•   
Set up Zoho Payroll for client organizations — org structure, pay schedules,
salary components, and approval workflows

•   
Design salary structures: earnings, deductions, reimbursements, and perquisites
mapped to each client's CTC philosophy

•   
Configure statutory components — PF, ESI, Professional Tax, TDS, and LWF —
correctly for each state and entity

Migration & Data:

•   
Migrate payroll data from Excel and legacy systems — employee masters, salary
history, tax declarations, and loan balances

•   
Clean, validate, and reconcile data before go-live; run parallel payroll cycles
to prove the numbers match

Payroll Runs & Support:

•   
Hand-hold the first two to three payroll cycles post go-live — arrears,
proration, LOP, revisions, and full-and-final settlements

•   
Investigate variances to the rupee and fix root causes, not symptoms

Integration & Ecosystem:

•   
Connect Zoho Payroll with Zoho People - attendance, leave, and LOP flowing
cleanly into every pay run

Training, Handover & Documentation:

•   
Train client HR and finance teams to run payroll independently and confidently

•   
Document every configuration - salary structure sheets, compliance registers,
and process notes the next person can pick up

What we're looking for

Experience

•   
0–2 years in payroll, HR operations, accounting, or a numbers-heavy role - freshers
welcome

•   
B.Com, BBA, or an HR / finance-adjacent background preferred  - what matters most is genuine comfort with
numbers

•   
Exposure to any payroll or HRMS platform is a plus - Zoho Payroll experience is
a head-start, not a requirement

Skills

•   
Strong numeric aptitude - percentages, proration, reconciliation, and CTC
arithmetic should feel natural

•   
Working knowledge of salary components - basic, HRA, allowances, deductions,
and how a CTC breaks down

•   
Awareness of statutory compliance - PF, ESI, PT, and TDS at a working level;
depth is trainable

•   
Excel proficiency - lookups, pivots, and clean data handling are daily tools,
not nice-to-haves

•   
Attention to detail - payroll errors are visible to every employee of the
client; you treat that seriously
