International payroll exposure

While this position starts as a 12 month fixed term contract, it is desired by management that it will become a permanent position due to ongoing acquisitions and the growth of the company. With two fortnightly payroll runs for manufacturing staff and the majority of employees captured in monthly payroll runs for salaried staff, you will liaise with stakeholders from HR to Team Leaders to maintain accurate employee data and ensure timely payroll query resolution while also liaising with the outsourced international payroll provider who provides technical expertise and payroll processing.
