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 transparent, 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
