You're approachable, solutions‐focused and able to communicate clearly with employees when they have questions about their pay.

Experience working across awards and/or enterprise agreements
Good knowledge of Australian payroll legislation and compliance
Confidence processing starters, variations, terminations and deductions
Strong attention to detail and commitment to data accuracy
Clear, concise and empathetic written communication
Confidence managing employee payroll queries
Experience using at least one ofMYOB PayGlobal, Humanforce or AlayaCare
The ability to pick up new systems and processes quickly
Openness to a potential temp‐to‐perm opportunity

What's in your toolkit?

While you don't need experience with every system used by the organisation, you'll need previous experience with at least one of MYOB PayGlobal, Humanforce or AlayaCare.
You'll ideally have worked in a complex or manual payroll environment, understand award interpretation and be comfortable investigating issues rather than simply processing what's put in front of you.
You'll also be someone who can explain payroll clearly.
There's plenty of communication with employees and managers, so patience, empathy and a strong service mindset will go a long way.
What's in it for you?
Initial 3-4 month temporary assignment
Genuine potential to become permanent
Hybrid working, with around three days in the office
Fortnightly payroll for approximately 1,000 employees
Exposure to a complex multi‐award and EBA workplace
