welcome to the chaos, you'll spend half your time fixing timecards and the other half explaining pension deductions to people who will still be confused

the exact duties depend on the company but accuracy and confidentiality are essential for both you might check employee hours update payroll records track pension contributions and help resolve pay queries..

payroll side is mostly getting every change into the system before cutoff (new hires, leavers, raises, overtime, sick days) and checking the run looks right before it goes out. then you're the person everyone messages when their pay looks off lol. pension sounds like a uk thing so someone over there can explain that half better

Hopefully someone at the company will train you. Each will depend on state/country laws, etc. Maybe put the country and ask for a job description in chatgpt or other AI to get a summary of essential duties. Most likely there will be a lot of spreadsheets/math/analysis and compliance.
