Your Key Responsibilities

* Support preparation of payroll for up to 3,000 employees across multiple payroll types and pay frequencies (weekly and monthly).
* Audit payroll information and documentation to ensure proper authorisation and compliance with procedures.
* Enter both permanent and temporary data into the payroll system with accuracy, and perform regular data reconciliations.

The Ideal Candidate
Requirements
The work of the Payroll Administrator varies according to the daily requirements of the site, but is likely to include the following activities:
* Acting as a key contact with employees and other site administrators
* Assisting with overall payroll preparation for up to 3000 employees on a wide variety of payrolls with both monthly and weekly pay frequency
* Auditing of payroll information and documentation to ensure appropriate authorisation
* Input of both permanent and temporary data to payroll system.
* Reconciliation of data.
* General administration.
* Data input is set against strict deadlines and therefore work rate and accuracy are of paramount importance to this position.
* Keyboard experience and knowledge of excel spreadsheets is essential and proven experience of working in a Wages function would be a definite advantage. The role will require a degree of instruction, both in the practicalities of office based data input and in order to gain an appreciation of factory practices, which impinge directly on office administration.
* Training will be 'hands on' and will be delivered at appropriate intervals by departmental colleagues. Training is to be a wholly participative exercise and its delivery need not always be formal.
* The office can be extremely busy and on occasions the Payroll Office is required to liaise on work related matters by telephone with external bodies. The Administrator must therefore conduct themselves at all times in a professional and responsible manner.
