Working Pattern: 100% Office Based

This is an exciting opportunity to join a successful and growing organisation as it transitions payroll from an outsourced provider to an internal function.

The Role
  • Lead the end-to-end payroll process for approximately 200 employees.
  • Process payroll for a mixture of permanent employees and self-employed workers.
  • Accurately calculate commissions, variable pay and TRONC payments.
