- Work with suppliers and associated Subject-Matter Specialists to ensure Payroll/Time & Attendance systems are configured for the business to meet its award, taxation, superannuation, entitlement, and other legislative and statutory obligations.
- Support project-related data cleansing activities and audits, to ensure compliance with legislative requirements in respect of leave accruals, PAYG, superannuation, STP and payroll tax.
- Conduct individual and group training workshops and/or group product demonstrations when required
- In conjunction with the National Payroll Manager establish a culture of high performance, professionalism and continuous improvement that encourages individuals to identify opportunities and solutions to improve service delivery, achieve outcomes and meet established deadlines.

The role is initially offered as a 12-month fixed-term contract, with a view to becoming permanent depending on business requirements.

1. A Senior Payroll Officer with strong SAP / Kronos skills, who is looking to step out of B.A.U. payroll and into a project-driven position.

2. An experienced projects specialist with a strong track record of testing system/ T&A configurations & compliance issues in general, but would like to learn SAP/ Kronos.

Depending on your previous relevant experience, a salary of up to $120,000 + Super is on offer for this role, which also provides flexible hybrid work-from-home options (typically 3/2) and offices situated within very close access to public transport.
