Payroll Manager
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Payroll Manager oversees accurate and timely payroll processing, maintains employee payroll records, ensures compliance with Taiwan labor and tax regulations, and coordinates with Human Resources and Finance. The role typically requires payroll experience, strong knowledge of local statutory requirements, proficiency with payroll or HR systems, and solid Excel and reporting skills. Fluency in Mandarin and working English may be expected in an international hotel environment. The successful candidate should be highly organized, discreet, detail-oriented, and comfortable handling confidential information, resolving payroll queries, meeting strict deadlines, and supporting audits and internal controls. Hospitality or luxury-hotel experience is an advantage.
Can I work in Taiwan?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: No ordinary permit for hotel line jobs; since 2026 hotels may bring in skilled staff (Indonesia first) after hiring locally first; managers use the degree-based permit.
Watch for: Imported hotel staff need basic Chinese or English (level A2) plus hotel training or experience; for each place the hotel must raise a local worker's pay by NT$2,000.
Official source: Ministry of Labor: first skilled foreign workers arrive for the hospitality industry (14 September 2026). Checked November 2026.

Senior staff often get more than line staff, for example a single room or a yearly home flight. Ask the employer what the job includes before you accept.
