Payroll Manager in Harrogate

Are you an experienced HR professional with a keen eye for detail and a passion for payroll management? If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you as one of our long-standing Clients is looking to hire an HR Admin & Payroll Manager to join their dynamic team. This role offers the chance to make a significant impact on the company's HR and payroll processes while ensuring compliance and efficiency.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Professional Growth: Oversee and collaborate with a third-party payroll provider, enhancing your expertise in payroll management and HR administration.
• Impactful Work: Play a crucial role in ensuring the accurate and timely processing of monthly payroll, directly affecting employee satisfaction and company operations.
• Collaborative Environment: Work closely within a really supportive and fun HR team in an environment built on trust where you only need to be in the office for a minimum of 2 days (you're of course welcome to do more office days if it suits you though!).
• Leadership Opportunities: Manage and mentor an HR Administrator, guiding their professional development.

Key Responsibilities:

• Payroll Management: Coordinate with the third-party payroll provider to ensure precise and timely payroll processing. Handle payroll data, including overtime, bonuses, and deductions, while ensuring compliance with tax regulations and benefits.
• Compliance & Reporting: Ensure all payroll and HR activities comply with UK employment law and regulatory requirements. Generate and review payroll reports and HR data for senior management.
• HR Administration: Maintain HR records, administer employee benefits, and ensure compliance with data protection regulations.
• Line Management: Oversee the HR Administrator's work, ensuring accuracy in HR documentation and providing guidance through regular reviews.
• Employee Relations: Act as the main point of contact for employee queries related to payroll and HR issues, maintaining confidentiality and professionalism.
• Process Improvement: Continuously review and improve HR and payroll processes, liaising with the third-party provider to streamline operations.

Skills and Experience:

• Proven experience in HR administration and payroll management, with a preference for experience with third-party payroll providers.
• Strong understanding of payroll systems, HR software, and MS Office, particularly Excel.
• In-depth knowledge of UK tax and pension regulations.
• Ability to work collaboratively with third-party vendors and maintain payroll accuracy.
• High attention to detail and excellent organisational skills.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to handle confidential information.
• Ability to manage multiple deadlines and work effectively under pressure.
• Experience with process improvement in HR and payroll functions is advantageous.
