Responsibilities include: employment matters; personnel records administration; statistical reporting; rewards program deployment; payroll delivery and compliance; people service support provision; automation of workflows.

Administrative stream includes those who primarily support others by performing skilled technical, administrative or operational tasks.

At the top of this career stream, individuals work independently and apply standards, yet can also make departures from established processes to resolve problems.

The colleague has skills developed through job-related training and on-the-job experience within a specific job discipline.

The job requires limited job and business knowledge at the time of hiring.
