An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Payroll Officer to join a highly respected organisation based in South Brisbane. This role offers you the chance to play a pivotal part in ensuring the accurate and timely processing of wages across multiple employing entities, all while working within a supportive and knowledgeable team. If you are looking for a position that combines responsibility, teamwork, and professional growth, this could be the perfect next step in your career.

What you'll do:

  • Process end-to-end payroll functions accurately and efficiently across multiple employing entities, ensuring all payments are made on time.
  • Maintain comprehensive employee records in accordance with instructions provided by HR or Industrial Relations teams, safeguarding data integrity at all times.
  • Review pay journals and reports meticulously to confirm that all employees receive correct payments, identifying and resolving discrepancies as needed.
  • Collaborate closely with other payroll team members to achieve shared objectives and deliver high-quality outcomes for the business.
  • Prepare detailed banking packs for approval, ensuring compliance with internal controls and financial procedures.
  • Interpret enterprise agreements (EAs) and implement their requirements within the payroll system, providing clarity on complex award conditions.
  • Import time data into payroll systems and review retroactive transactions to ensure accuracy in historical adjustments.
  • Participate actively in training sessions and upskilling initiatives designed to enhance both individual capability and overall team performance.
  • Communicate clearly with peers, managers, site administrators, and HR contacts both verbally and in writing to facilitate smooth operations.
  • Support change initiatives within the business by adapting processes as required and sharing knowledge openly during team discussions.
What you bring:
  • Demonstrated experience in roles requiring a high degree of numeracy, ideally within a payroll or finance function where accuracy is paramount.
  • Proven ability to communicate clearly both verbally and in writing with colleagues at all levels of the organisation.
  • Strong analytical skills combined with critical thinking abilities that enable you to identify issues quickly and propose effective solutions.
  • Previous experience with key payroll systems such as Preceda or Dayforce would be highly beneficial.
  • A collaborative approach that allows you to work effectively within teams while also providing support when asked by others.
  • Experience maintaining confidential employee records in line with organisational policies or regulatory requirements.
  • Understanding of enterprise agreements (EAs) or industrial awards as they relate to payroll processing is highly desirable but not essential.
  • Willingness to participate in ongoing training sessions aimed at enhancing both technical skills and broader business understanding.
What sets this company apart:

This organisation stands out for its unwavering commitment to creating an inclusive workplace where every team member feels valued.
