A well-established and expanding multi-site hospitality group is looking to appoint a Payroll Manager to join its growing team, based near Colchester. Experience within hospitality is not necessary.
You'll work closely with site management teams to keep everything running like clockwork across monthly payrolls covering both salaried and hourly-paid staff.
What you'll be doing:
- Preparing, checking and reconciling multiple payrolls across different periods, including weekly rota closures
- Reviewing rotas and reports side-by-side, catching anomalies and ensuring the numbers stack up
- Being the go-to person for site managers with payroll queries — resolving them quickly and clearly
- Maintaining accurate records for SSP, SMP and other statutory payments
- Processing anomalies, expenses, bonuses and live-in rent adjustments
What we're looking for:
- Solid grounding in payroll
- Confident working knowledge of SMP, SSP, SPP, pensions, tax, pro-rating, Tronc and payroll variations
- Comfortable closing and interrogating rotas, previewing reports and spotting inconsistencies before they become problems
- Able to calculate estimates confidently and explain payroll matters in plain English
- Multi-site payroll experience would be a big plus — hospitality exposure welcome but not necessary
- A proactive mindset, sharp attention to detail and an appetite for process improvement
For immediate consideration, apply with your CV or feel free to call for more details.
