Experienced in payroll and looking for a role that fits around your life?

MADEC Australia is looking for an experienced Payroll Officer to join our Mildura team on a permanent part-time basis, working three days per week.

This is a hands-on payroll role within a diverse organisation, supporting employees across different programs, employment arrangements and locations. You'll work with everything from standard employee payroll through to more complex labour hire and PALM workforce requirements.
n
If you're confident navigating the detail behind a pay run, know your way around Australian payroll requirements and enjoy being the person who can investigate and resolve a discrepancy, we'd love to hear from you.
n
What you'll be responsible for
n
Working closely with our HR and Finance teams, you'll help ensure our employees are paid accurately, compliantly and on time.
n
Your responsibilities will include:
n
n
Processing payroll, adjustments, back pays, allowances and other variations
n
Reviewing approved timesheets and ensuring hours and conditions are applied correctly
n
Processing employee commencements, terminations and leave
n
Applying Awards, EBAs, employment contracts and relevant legislation
n
Managing complex payroll deductions for PALM workers, including authorised accommodation, transport and other deductions
n
Reconciling pay runs and investigating discrepancies
n
Processing superannuation, salary packaging and other employee deductions
n
Maintaining accurate employee payroll records and entitlements
n
Responding to payroll queries from employees and managers
n
Preparing payroll and finance reports and assisting with audit requirements

Supporting payroll reconciliations and ensuring alignment with the General Ledger
n
Identifying opportunities to strengthen payroll processes, systems and controls
n
n
What you'll bring
n
We're looking for someone with practical payroll experience and a strong understanding of what sits behind the numbers.
n
You'll ideally have:
n
n
Demonstrated experience in end-to-end payroll processing
n
Sound knowledge of Australian payroll legislation and requirements
n
Experience interpreting Awards, EBAs and varying employment conditions
n
Strong reconciliation and problem-solving skills
n
Excellent attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy
n
Confidence working with payroll systems, spreadsheets and financial data
n
The ability to manage deadlines and competing priorities
n
Strong communication skills and a helpful, service-focused approach
n
n
Experience within labour hire, PALM, seasonal workforces or other complex payroll environments would be particularly valuable but isn't essential.
n
A relevant qualification in Business Administration, Accounting or a related discipline will be well regarded, or you may bring equivalent payroll experience.
n
Why MADEC?
n
MADEC is a national not-for-profit organisation delivering employment, labour hire, education and community programs across Australia.
n
For this role, you'll have the opportunity to use your payroll expertise in an organisation with genuine complexity and variety – while enjoying the flexibility of a permanent three-day working week.
n
You'll join a team-oriented team, work closely with HR and Finance, and have the opportunity to contribute ideas and improvements rather than simply process transactions.
n
If you're an experienced payroll professional based in Mildura and a permanent part-time opportunity sounds like the right next move, we'd love to hear from you.
