Agoda is hiring a Workday Payroll Specialist

Responsibilities

  • Configure, maintain, and support Workday Payroll interfaces/outputs, including functional setup for PECI
  • Partner closely with Payroll stakeholders and vendors to align on requirements, mapping, cutoffs, exception handling, and ongoing operational improvements
  • Build and maintain Workday payroll reporting (Advanced Reports, Calculated Fields, dashboards)
  • Support Workday-side troubleshooting during payroll cycles, including investigating data issues, supporting file generation/extract issues, and collaborating on root-cause analysis with integration/vendor teams
  • Own documentation and enablement for Workday payroll processes, including control checklists, mapping notes, SOPs, and knowledge transfer to strengthen team resiliency
  • Stay current on Workday releases and recommend enhancements/automation to reduce payroll cycle time, defects, and manual effort on the Workday side

Requirements

  • 4 - 6 years of hands-on Workday experience, with at least 2–3 years supporting payroll-related Workday delivery and third-party payroll providers
  • Hands-on experience with Workday PECI and/or EPI (per your environment): managing extracts/outputs, effective-dated events, filters, timing, and operational support
  • Strong proficiency in Workday reporting for payroll (Advanced Reporting, Calculated Fields), creating reliable outputs for readiness checks, reconciliation support, and audit needs
  • Solid understanding of payroll input drivers in Workday (HCM/Comp/Time/Absence impacts), especially effective dating, retroactivity implications, and data integrity
  • Working knowledge of Workday Security and handling sensitive payroll-related data with appropriate controls
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills: data tracing, root-cause analysis, and clear communication of findings/impacts to Payroll stakeholders
  • Strong collaboration skills and stakeholder management; comfortable operating as the Workday owner while partnering tightly with Payroll and vendors

Nice to Have

  • Understanding of how Workday data typically feeds into downstream systems (payroll providers like Cloudpay/ADP) and what validations/cutoffs are commonly required
  • Familiarity with integration/support practices: monitoring, scheduling, secure file transfer coordination, incident management, and change control
  • Experience supporting multi-country payroll inputs from Workday (global complexity, localization considerations)
  • Experience in payroll-related testing: UAT support, regression support for Workday changes, parallel run support (Workday outputs and validation reports)

Benefits

  • Medical, dental, mental health support line, annual leave, travel discounts, sick days, and the AgodaChoice flexible spending benefit
  • Provident fund benefits, and life insurance
  • Flexibility to help you work in the way that's best for you with a work from home allowance, 30-day work from anywhere benefit, and hybrid working options
  • Unlimited online learning access, several in-person development programs for each stage of your career, and career paths for management and individual contributors
  • The chance to live in Bangkok, one of the best cities in Southeast Asia and a central hub for travel. Within 3 hours you can hit any of the most popular countries like Vietnam, Singapore, Laos, Malaysia, and Hong Kong, just to name a few
  • A generous relocation package to help you get here comfortably
