My client is looking for a Payroll Assistant to administer payroll, complete weekly checks, and support Managers with employee payments. The ideal candidate needs to have a passion for payroll and be self-motivated to ensure that month-end balances are accurate.
Although the payroll is monthly, it is calculated and checked weekly. This is a fast-paced environment but very enjoyable!
Job Responsibilities:
- Verify weekly payments and absences that have been input by Managers.
- Identify and potentially rectify any discrepancies.
- Upload and check data spreadsheets into the payroll system.
- Create reports with information pertaining to payroll.
- Handle voluntary and involuntary deductions.
- Enter changes to employee payroll and HR records.
- Reconcile the monthly payroll with generated reports.
- Action leavers and any department transfers (approximately 40-60 per month).
- Track underlying trends with issues such as absence.
- Communicate with Managers and employees regarding changes in role, salary, benefits, etc.
- Support the HR function with uniform ordering and invoice reconciliation.
- Maintain awareness of pension legislation and reporting.
- Provide overall administrative support to the HR department, including maintaining and processing documentation and records.
The Candidate:
- Payroll experience is essential.
- Knowledge of Midland HR/iTrent HR/Payroll is desirable.
- Candidates must be highly proficient in Excel.
- The role reports directly to the HR & Payroll Manager.
The successful candidate will be part of a small team but should be equally happy working independently. This is a part-time role; however, when the HR & Payroll Manager is absent, it may be necessary to work overtime to ensure the smooth running of the Department.
Details:
The salary is based on 18 hours per week, with a full-time equivalent (FTE) of £24,500 per annum.
The hours of work are Monday 9.00am - 5.00pm, Thursday & Friday 9.30am - 3.00pm.
Benefits:
- Employee discount
- Flexitime
- Free parking
- Gym membership
- Life insurance
