The prospect

Our client's payroll function is mid‑way through a remediation program aimed at cleaning up time and attendance data and shifting the business from roster-based to actuals-based pay. We are looking for someone who can pick up the reins on the operational side; chasing down issues, sanity‑checking reports, and keeping a wide group of stakeholders pointed in the same direction.

You’ll be the person who notices when a report doesn't add up, who can explain to a Regional Manager why their team's timesheets need fixing before payroll cut-off, and who can sit down with the vendor and get a report spec that actually works.

What you’ll be doing

- Running the cadence of the T&A;/payroll controls workstream; actions, risks, decisions and issues, tracked and followed up
- Sense‑checking payroll exception reports and other data outputs for completeness and accuracy
- Helping shift the business from roster-based to actuals-based pay data
- Writing up requirements for changes to vendor reports and exports
- Shaping better procedures for Service Leaders, Regional Managers and Area Managers
- Chasing services that aren't fixing errors ahead of payroll cut-offs
- Contributing to Payroll Ready / Not Ready readiness reporting




- Acting as the go‑between for Payroll and the vendor; clarifying asks, tracking delivery
- Testing report and export changes against what Payroll actually needs
- Pulling together clear, no‑fluff updates on progress, risks and decisions needed

What you’ll bring

- Background in payroll operations or payroll systems
- Solid grasp of payroll data, timesheets, rostering or T&A; processes
- A knack for reading a report and spotting what's wrong with it
- Track record of pushing operational teams toward better process compliance
- Excel and reporting skills you're confident putting to work daily
- Ability to turn payroll needs into system or reporting requirements
- Experience dealing with vendors — workforce management, rostering, payroll or HRIS
- Tight documentation habits and comfort running an issues log
- A level head when juggling multiple stakeholders on a deadline

Bonus points for

- Xplor, Aurion, or childcare-sector payroll exposure
- Award interpretation / award-based payroll experience
- Prior work on T&A; remediation or payroll compliance projects
- Hands‑on system testing or UAT experience
