Description du poste

SAP Belgian Payroll Consultant | Freelance | ASAP Start

One of our clients is currently delivering a Belgian payroll transformation, focused on bringing more payroll calculations directly into SAP.

Currently, a number of gross-pay calculations and premiums are handled manually by payroll teams or calculated using data/reports from other systems before being uploaded into payroll. The objective is to bring more of this calculation logic directly into the SAP Payroll environment and payroll rule engine.

The programme is being delivered across three major waves. It is currently in Wave 2, primarily covering monthly premiums, with Wave 3 focusing on yearly premiums.

The project is already underway and working to challenging timelines, with requirements currently at different stages across refinement, development and testing. They therefore need an experienced consultant who can join an active programme and become productive quickly.

The Role

The existing team already has strong SAP, HR and development expertise. The specific gap is somebody who combines deep Belgian payroll knowledge with hands‑on SAP Payroll implementation capability.

You will take ownership of Belgian-specific payroll requirements and help take them from initial business requirement through to a working SAP solution.

Key Responsibilities

• Work directly with payroll and business stakeholders to understand and clarify Belgian-specific requirements.
• Analyse requirements relating to gross calculations, premiums and other Belgian payroll processes.
• Translate business requirements into clear, technically deliverable user stories.
• Challenge and refine existing requirements where necessary.
• Design the appropriate solution within SAP Payroll and its rule engine.
• Configure and personally deliver elements of the solution rather than operating solely in an advisory capacity.
• Support development/ABAP activities where required, either hands‑on or in close collaboration with the existing development team.
• Support testing, troubleshooting and resolution of issues throughout implementation.
• Produce clear functional/technical documentation so solutions can subsequently be maintained or delivered by other members of the team.
• Join an existing fast-moving programme and operate independently with minimal hand‑hiding.

Required Experience

• Deep knowledge of Belgian payroll legislation and processes.
• Strong understanding of the Belgian SAP payroll calculation/rule engine.
• Practical implementation experience with Belgian-specific calculations, ideally including:

Monthly premiums.

Annual/yearly premiums.

Seniority-related premiums.

Other Belgian-specific gross‑pay calculations.

• Strong SAP Payroll configuration experience.
• Ability to translate payroll/business requirements into technical requirements and user stories.
• Comfortable taking ownership of requirements through to implementation.
• ABAP knowledge/capability would be highly beneficial.
• Experience working within large and complex organisations, ideally involving different employee populations such as white‑and blue‑collar workers.

This is not purely a functional/business analyst position. The client needs somebody who understands Belgian payroll at a detailed level but is also sufficiently hands‑on technically to deliver the resulting SAP solution.

Start: ASAP
