At Ecolab, we're seeking an experienced Payroll Specialist to join our payroll team on a 12-month fixed-term contract covering parental leave.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys payroll, knows New Zealand legislation and processes inside-out, and can confidently process payroll using Micropay. If you have those two things, we'd love to hear from you.

About the Role

Joining our supportive regional payroll team, you'll take ownership of payroll processing for our New Zealand employees, ensuring payroll is delivered accurately, compliantly and on time.

You'll support approximately 250 employees across New Zealand and Fiji, with a strong focus on New Zealand payroll operations.

An immediate start is preferred to allow for a full handover before the current incumbent commences parental leave.

What You'll Be Doing

- End-to-end processing of New Zealand payroll

- Managing employee payroll changes, new starters and terminations

- Processing final pays and leave entitlements

- Completing IRD Payday Filing requirements

- Responding to employee payroll enquiries

- Ensuring payroll compliance and accuracy

- Supporting payroll reporting and general payroll administration





What We're Looking For

There are only two essential requirements for this role:

- Proven experience processing end-to-end New Zealand payroll

- Strong working knowledge of Micropay

That's it.

If you have experience with IRD requirements, KiwiSaver, terminations, leave calculations or payroll reporting, that's advantageous, but our focus is on finding someone who has successfully processed NZ payroll using Micropay.

Why Join Ecolab?

- 12-month fixed-term opportunity with a global market leader

- Hybrid working arrangements

- Supportive and team-oriented payroll team

- Comprehensive handover provided

- Opportunity to work for a purpose-driven organisation with a strong people-first culture

Apply Now

If you're experienced in New Zealand payroll and have worked with Micropay, we'd love to hear from you.

Even if you don't meet every preference listed above, we encourage you to apply. Our primary focus is finding someone with the right NZ payroll experience who can confidently operate in Micropay from day one.
