Your new company
Hays Accountancy & Finance are delighted to be partnering again with a major Norfolk employer as they expand their payroll team, in the search for an experienced payroll clerk to join them on a 9-month contract, which could be permanent. The organisation is entering a period of expansion and requires additional support in the payroll team, so we are keen to hear from interested payroll professionals who are available at short notice.
Your new role
In this newly created senior payroll officer / clerk's job, you will join a team which processes in excess of 6,000 employees across the UK. Therefore, you must have experience of processing a payroll from end-to-end and be fully aware of HMRC regulations and statutory deductions, as this is 100% payroll processing role as the team rotate the payroll duties. Your typical duties will involve checking payroll data prior to payment processing day, P11d's, calculating manual payments, processing 3rd party pension payments, county court judgements, managing any payroll queries from employees and managers, so confident communication skills are essential.
The organisation has a strong commercial business background, and they pride themselves on delivering excellent customer service as well as using the latest technology to achieve the best output in any given task, which is repeated across all departments, including payroll.
What you'll need to succeed
You will be immediately available or available at short-notice and willing to give commitment to a 9-month fixed-term contract. We expect you to have proven payroll experience, ideally with a formal qualification (CIPP) and be able to demonstrate your knowledge of statutory deductions, PAYE payroll processes, Pension Auto Enrolment regulations, salary sacrifice agreements along with your confident IT skills.
As explained, this is a busy, demanding payroll department, where you will work to tight deadlines which, as an experienced payroll professional, is all part of the job.
What you'll get in return
The organisation offers a flexible and generous benefits package with a salary of circa £28,000 - £35,000 depending on experience, hybrid-working, pension scheme, free parking, 25 days' holiday plus Bank Holidays.
As explained, this is a 9-month fixed-term contract with the possibility of being permanent.
