Payroll Specialist
Location: Hayes (Office-based)
Salary: Circa £40,000 per annum
Contract: 1 Year Fixed-Term Contract
I’m currently recruiting on behalf of one of my clients for an experienced Payroll Specialist to join their Finance team on a 1-year fixed-term contract. This is a great opportunity to join a friendly, supportive business and play a key role in ensuring the smooth running of their payroll and expenses function.
The Role:
You’ll be responsible for managing the full payroll process up to the commitment stage, including entering both fixed and variable data into the payroll system. This role sits within the finance team and also covers employee expenses, so strong attention to detail and good system knowledge is essential.
The company currently uses ADP but will be moving across to Workday, so any experience with either system is a real plus.
Key Responsibilities:
* Accurately process monthly payroll including starters, leavers, adjustments, bonuses, and deductions.
* Input and maintain payroll data within ADP, supporting the transition to Workday.
* Respond to employee queries and resolve payroll-related issues promptly.
* Process and verify employee expense claims in line with company policy.
* Work closely with the wider finance team and support reporting and reconciliation tasks.
* Maintain accurate records and ensure compliance with statutory requirements.
About You:
* You’ll have hands-on experience with UK payroll processes and understand the full cycle from start to pre-commitment.
* You’ve ideally used ADP and/or Workday and are confident learning new systems.
* You’re organised, accurate, and able to handle confidential information with professionalism.
* Comfortable working independently and as part of a wider finance team.
* Strong communication skills and a proactive, can-do attitude.
This is an office-based role in Hayes, and the team are looking for someone to start as soon as possible. If this sounds like the right fit for you, I’d love to hear from you!
