Total Rewards Specialist

About AVASO 

AVASO Technology Solutions is a global IT services company delivering field services, managed services, and technology solutions across more than 100 countries. Our People & Culture function supports a diverse, multi-geography workforce, and our Total Rewards team is at the heart of ensuring our compensation and benefits programmes are accurate, equitable, and data-driven. 

The Opportunity 

We are looking for a Total Rewards Specialist to join our People & Culture team on a fully remote basis from India. In this role, you will own the day-to-day execution of compensation, payroll coordination, and employee exit operations — while bringing strong analytical capability to help the team deliver consistent, data-backed reward outcomes across the organisation. 

You will work independently on assigned workstreams, collaborate closely with Finance, HR Operations, and business teams, and play a key role in building the data infrastructure — dashboards, trackers, and automation tools — that our Total Rewards function relies on every day. 

What You'll Do 

Compensation Administration 

• Support the annual merit cycle — preparing employee-level CTC data, working on the data and analysis. 

• Assist in salary benchmarking exercises using approved survey sources; maintain salary range tables, grade band schedules, and CTC revision trackers. 

• Process salary revisions, promotions, and increments accurately in the HRIS and payroll system. 

• Prepare compensation analyses, identify outliers, and flag findings for review by the Senior Specialist or Manager. 

Payroll Operations Support 

• Coordinate monthly payroll inputs: LOP deductions, arrear computations, ad-hoc allowances, and one-time payments. 

• Validate payroll data for accuracy prior to processing; cross-check outputs against HRIS records and resolve discrepancies. 

• Maintain structured payroll trackers, salary revision logs, and exception registers in Excel. 

• Liaise with the Finance team for payroll reconciliation and monthly variance reporting. 

Exit Management & Full and Final Settlement (FNF) 

• Own end-to-end FNF computation for exiting employees. 

• Coordinate with HR Operations, Finance, and business units to obtain clearances and validate inputs before FNF is processed. 

• Serve as the primary point of contact for employee and ex-employee queries on FNF, salary arrears, tax deductions, and relieving documentation. 

• Maintain a live FNF tracker covering all active cases, status, pending clearances, and disbursement dates. 

HR Data Analysis & Reporting  — A Core Part of This Role 

• We are looking for someone who treats data as a first-class output. The ability to build, automate analytics clearly is as important as the operational skills in this role. 

• Build and maintain Excel-based dashboards and trackers for headcount cost, payroll variance, and compensation distribution. 

• Develop VBA macros to automate repetitive payroll and HR processes, reducing manual effort and improving accuracy. 

• Analyse data to identify trends, outliers, and equity issues. 

• Proactively flag and resolve data quality issues across all Total Rewards records. 

What We're Looking For 

Experience 

• 5–6 years of progressive experience in Total Rewards, Compensation & Benefits, or HR Operations. 

• Demonstrated hands-on experience in payroll processing, salary revision administration, and FNF management. 

• Prior experience in a mid-to-large IT services, technology, or global services organisation is preferred. 

• Exposure to multi-country compensation structures is an advantage. 

Data & Analytics Skills — Required 

• Strong Excel proficiency is a hard requirement for this role — not just data entry or basic formulas. 

• Microsoft Excel (Advanced) — VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, INDEX-MATCH, SUMIFS, Pivot Tables, dynamic dashboards, data validation. 

• VBA Macro development for payroll and HR process automation. 

• Ability to design structured, formula-driven workbooks from scratch. 

Tools & Systems 

• HRIS platforms — SAP SuccessFactors, Darwinbox, Zoho People, or equivalent. 

• Payroll systems — working knowledge of payroll processing tools and salary computation logic. 

• Microsoft Office Suite — Word and PowerPoint for documentation and reporting. 

Education 

• Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Commerce, Business Administration, or a related field — mandatory. 

• MBA / PGDM in Human Resources or equivalent postgraduate qualification — preferred. 

• Certification in Compensation & Benefits (WorldatWork CCP, SHRM-CP, or equivalent) — desirable
