Supporting payroll setup and onboarding as the retail network continues to expand

To be considered for this role, you will have 3–4 years of end-to-end Australian payroll experience, ideally including Recent Zealand, with sound working knowledge of Fair Work, modern awards, superannuation and PAYG.
