04:05 INTERVIEW
Truong Bich Ngoc: Akrivia builds payroll systems, and when you want to build up a system, you need to consider all the scenarios. So, I get to summarize all the potential issues we can have in payroll to provide to the system developers, and then, I educate the client about the system so they know and can handle all the cases that can come up. We need to summarize all the payroll calculations and prepare for all the scenarios that can happen for payroll. With the Vietnam project complete, I’ve moved on to other countries, like Thailand. I have been working on setting up systems for clients in Thailand as well. So, we are learning again! I can compare the Vietnamese labor law to that of Thailand and vice versa. It’s interesting to compare how they calculate labor figures in Thailand, and then determine whether we can apply some of what we learned from Thailand to Vietnam later on. If you already understand about payroll in some countries, you can more easily learn about payroll in other countries because the basics are the same and you can identify the differences.
I am the kind of person who seeks to learn about a lot of fields. I’m a continuous learner. When I sought to learn about HR, I wanted to master it. That’s true for all the roles I’ve taken on.
With that, I learned about how important the structure of the payroll setup should be so the process would comply with the law. I moved to another firm in more of an HR role, and later I joined Akrivia, my current employer. I am the kind of person who seeks to learn about a lot of fields. I’m a continuous learner. When I sought to learn about HR, I wanted to master it. That’s true for all the roles I’ve taken on. I focused on learning about recruitment and administration. Next was payroll. Then back to focusing on recruitment, and now, I’m back to payroll again. GPA: What kind of projects are you currently pursuing?
