HR Team Members

I soon learned how important it is to stick to deadlines while maintaining accuracy. I’ve always been interested in different calculations and am constantly looking for ways to improve efficiency.

I began running payrolls in 2021 as well as studying for a year with the Chartered Institution of Payroll Professionals in London. Studying on top of full-time work was challenging, but proved worthwhile.

At AF, I’m enjoying getting to know our AF Members and running the large variety of different payrolls.

The best part of my role is that I get to work collaboratively with our amazing staff across all areas of the business. I am passionate about ensuring all employees have both the opportunity and tools to enable them to achieve their full potential. A key focus area for my role is to ensure we can continue to attract and retain top talent across our business.

Originally from Poland, I learned most of my cooking skills since coming to the UK. I’ve worked in several well-known local kitchens, including the Kings Head, Letheringsett, The Ingham Swan and Liberty in Wroxham.

Over the last decade payroll has become a minefield of deadlines and ever-changing legislation, both with HMRC and the Pension Regulator. We have seen the introduction of Real Time Reporting (RTI), pension auto enrolment, average holiday pay calculations and for a short time the introduction of the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme.

My years of payroll experience in these areas allow me to work collaboratively with our Members and I am 100% committed to providing the best customer service experience possible. By processing their payrolls and keeping on top of legislation changes, I take the burden away from Members, freeing up their time to focus on the day to day running of their businesses whilst helping to ensure their employees are paid both accurately and on time.

Although HR mightn’t be a job you’d immediately associate with the word ‘creativity’, I enjoy searching for new and innovative ways to achieve desired outcomes within my role. I help to identify and develop our most talented colleagues within the business, and support their ongoing development, watching them grow and thrive as professionals. At AF, I am empowered to not only implement new ways of working and initiatives, but I am actively encouraged to do so.
