Payroll Officer (Time & Attendance/Payroll Specialist)
Location: Central London (office-based)
Contract: Full-time, temporary initial 5 months with possibility of extension
Rate: £325per day (umbrella)
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a hands-on Payroll Officer (or strong HR/Finance professional with solid payroll experience) to join a prestigious 5-star hotel in Central London operating in a fast-paced, 24/7 hospitality environment.
About the Role
The hotel has recently implemented new Time & Attendance, Payroll and HR systems and is seeking reliable support during this period. You will work with UKG (Time & Attendance), ADP (fully outsourced payroll) and SAP (HR).
The role requires someone practical, detail-oriented and comfortable validating complex data in a high-volume environment with multiple work patterns. Strong analytical and reporting skills are essential. Hospitality experience is preferred, though fast-paced, high-volume experience from other sectors will also be considered.
Key Responsibilities
- Validate Time & Attendance data from UKG before it feeds into ADP payroll
- Check and process payroll codes, sickness, holidays, overtime and lieu time
- Review and validate ADP payroll output for accuracy
- Reconcile payroll figures against the P&L at month-end
- Produce clear reports and support ad-hoc data analysis
- Work closely with the wider HR and Finance teams during the system transition period
Requirements
- Proven experience in payroll processing (ideally end-to-end from Time & Attendance through to payroll output and reconciliation)
- Strong analytical, data and reporting skills with high attention to detail
- Comfortable working with complex datasets and multiple systems
- Experience with UKG, ADP and/or SAP is highly desirable (or similar T&A / outsourced payroll platforms)
- Hands-on, tech-savvy and able to hit the ground running
- Hospitality experience preferred; alternatively, experience in a fast-paced, high-volume environment
- Must be available immediately
Personal Attributes
- Practical, reliable and proactive
- Calm under pressure and comfortable in a busy operational environment
- Strong communicator who can work independently and as part of a small team
- Not seeking a senior management role - this is a hands-on operational position
