Payroll Officer - SAP S/4HANA

*Work From Home 3 Days Per Week*

About the role

We're looking for a full-time Payroll Officer to join our Payroll Data Management team of 9, based at our North Sydney head office. This role is available because one of our long-standing team members is retiring, providing an opportunity to step into a stable role in a supportive and collaborative team.

You'll be part of a larger payroll team of 24, split into Data Management, Payroll Processing, and Payroll Accounting, all working to deliver accurate and compliant payroll services.

In this role, you'll use SAP S/4 HANA, Concur, Navigo, and ServiceNow to manage workforce master data to encompass all personal and payroll-related information for employees. UGL's workforce includes over 90 Enterprise Agreements, with complex conditions to include site allowances, shift work, FIFO, tools and equipment, First Aid, LAFHA, and client-specific agreements.

With multiple weekly, fortnightly, and monthly payrolls, you'll ensure employees are set up correctly and ready to be paid, while resolving payroll queries through ServiceNow. This is a great opportunity to work in a fast-paced, collaborative team environment within a large, diverse organisation.

Why this role

  • Join a diverse, inclusive, and welcoming team that supports each other who often enjoy lunch together.
  • Enjoy a great work-life balance with 3 days working from home each week.
  • Manage core data from SAP S/4 HANA, Taleo, Concur, Navigo, and ServiceNow, with exposure to Oracle HCM.
  • Become a specialist with Union and Award compliance.
  • Cross train into other payroll functions.

Key responsibilities

  • Review and validate employment conditions and manage employee data for new hires, rehires, transfers, promotions, salary adjustments, wage changes, allowances, deductions, superannuation, personal data updates, and employee benefits.
  • Conduct weekly, fortnightly and monthly compliance audit reports to proactively identify and resolve errors.
  • EBA interpretation to maintain compliance with over 90 Enterprise Agreements (and growing).
  • Manage ServiceNow tickets and inquiries from stakeholders, collaborating with internal P&C teams to resolve issues.

About you

  • Experience in high-volume payroll operations using SAP.
  • Strong understanding of multiple EBA's and their complexities.
  • Excel (intermediate to advanced skills).
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to escalate issues and advise stakeholders on complex matters.

What we offer

  • Enjoy a hybrid work arrangement working from home 3 days per week.
  • Cross train into other payroll functions.
  • Benefit from 16 weeks of paid primary parental leave.
  • Complimentary salary continuance insurance.
  • Discounted Medibank health insurance and Fitness First gym memberships.
  • Participate in our Wellness Program with AIA Vitality.
  • Access our OneRewards Shopping Discount Program.
