Payroll Officer | Gladesville | $110K + Super

THE COMPANY Join an established Australian owned organisation with a long history and a significant presence across manufacturing and industrial operations.

With a large, diverse workforce and operations running around the clock, payroll is a critical function within the business. You’ll be joining an experienced and supportive payroll team at an exciting time, with the organisation currently preparing for a major payroll systems transformation.

This is a stable business that values reliability, quality and getting things right, and they are looking for an experienced Payroll Officer who takes the same approach to their work.

THE ROLE Working as part of an established payroll team, you’ll take ownership of a weekly payroll of approximately 450 predominantly manufacturing employees within a complex, fast-paced setting.

Your responsibilities will include:

Managing end-to-end weekly payroll from timesheet through to finalisation

Extracting and reviewing employee hours from Kronos and processing through MicroPay

Maintaining employee master data and processing payroll changes

Processing allowances, deductions, leave, manual pays, back pays and salary increases

Reviewing audit reports and investigating payroll discrepancies

Managing workers compensation payments and reconciliations

Completing payroll, superannuation, PAYG and deduction reconciliations and uploads

Preparing payroll tax across NSW, VIC and WA

Processing GL information and providing payroll reporting to Finance

Responding to employee payroll queries and liaising with external bodies including the ATO and Centrelink

Supporting the broader payroll team during peak periods

Contributing to the payroll function as the business transitions from MicroPay to SAP

The role sits within a team of three Payroll Officers and a Payroll Time & Attendance Officer, so while you’ll have ownership of your payroll,



you’ll also have support around you.

THE CANDIDATE We’re looking for an experienced Payroll Officer who is comfortable taking genuine ownership of an end-to-end payroll and understands the deadlines and complexities that come with a large weekly workforce.

You’ll ideally bring:

Strong end-to-end payroll experience within a medium to large organisation

Experience managing weekly payrolls, ideally within manufacturing, industrial or another award/EBA-driven environment

MicroPay experience will be highly regarded

Experience with Kronos or another time & attendance system

Sound knowledge of payroll tax, superannuation, PAYG, leave and payroll reconciliations

Confidence working with high volumes and tight weekly deadlines

Strong attention to detail and the ability to investigate and resolve discrepancies

A collaborative, team-focused approach

The confidence to work autonomously and take responsibility for your payroll

Experience with SAP would be advantageous given the upcoming system transition, but it isn’t essential.

THE BENEFITS This one will particularly suit someone who values stability, flexibility around their working day and being part of a close-knit payroll team.

Circa $110K + Super, with some flexibility depending on experience
