This morning I assisted when picking up her hearing aid, I am happy I went with her if I think she would struggle to set her hearing aid in the right setting together with the man working there. Although he approaches people every day who have a very bad hearing my mum still faced with her lack of Dutch language and extremely bad hearing. I also noticed it as I get older I start to value the relationship with my sister and especially with my mum much more.
After our appointment, I found an email from my supervisor in my mailbox informing me about what my task for the day is, which is ‘’gather payroll data’’. He stresses the fact that it’s an important part of the human resource department however I will have to do it by myself. Since a lot of the information is confidential and cannot be sent to me there is no opportunity for me to learn anything directly from my supervisor regarding salaries and paychecks. I was advised to study the information from the following website: https://www.olxpeople.com/blog/3-stages-of-payroll-processing/ and look for similar Information online which might come in handy in the future. To be honest the only thing that I did pick up today is the difference between salaries and payroll in terms of the word used in the English language. The job before my last job was pretty diverse even though I was just a supervisor my previous employer showed me a lot of work he has been doing when you had to pay salaries or deduct the taxes by the end of the year. I still believe it wouldn’t be the same experience since both companies operate in different industries and therefore pay different taxes. Both in different countries as well.
