We are looking for an experienced Payroll Advisor to join us in running our inhouse payroll, working as part of a friendly, supportive and motivated HR / L&OD team.
Whilst carrying out the HR and payroll processes for approx. 350 colleagues, you will be essential to running our monthly payroll using our HR system Cascade, as well as administering colleague lifecycle changes. You will be the go-to person to provide advice to the business on HMRC / Pension guidelines and ensure that payroll and pensions are processed in line with legislation.
As part of your role, you will help identify and implement improvements to our payrolling processes. For example, this year we have introduced Payrolling Benefits, increased the promotion to our pension salary exchange scheme and currently exploring a simplified method for calculating holiday pay. Looking ahead, we will be working on selecting and embedding a new reward and discount platform. We take professional development and best practice seriously which is why we offer to pay for a professional membership, such as CIPP.
About you
You will need to have proven experience of leading monthly / yearly inhouse payroll processes within an HR setting. Experience of completing HR processes in relation to all stages of a colleague’s lifecycle i.e. change of contract, promotion, leavers, would also be desirable.
You will be responding to colleague queries and providing advice on legislation, taxation and regulations related to payroll, reward and benefits so you will be great working with people and have strong communication skills. You’ll also need to use your experience and knowledge to make sound evidence-based decisions that align with our policies and processes.
We would love to meet someone with first class customer service skills and excellent attention to detail, who can bring their great team spirit to our fun team of brilliant colleagues.
