Brisbane, Queensland, Australia Davidson Full time $60,000 - $90,000 per year

About the Company

Our client is a well-established organisation that has grown significantly through acquisition, now employing over 1,000 staff across multiple states. With this growth comes complexity-and that's where you come in. They are undertaking a dedicated project to migrate long service leave data into a new Payroll and Time & Attendance system, and need an experienced payroll professional to get the job done right.

About the Role

Working under the guidance of the Payroll Manager, you will play a hands-on role in converting and reconciling long service leave entitlements for 1,000 employees. This will involve:

  • Extrapolating timesheet data from multiple payroll systems across different states
  • Converting calculations from hours to weeks for migration into the new system
  • Handling both straightforward and complex cases, depending on service history and legacy employer arrangements
  • Investigating and verifying data, including paper-based records
  • Applying the correct long service leave codes with accuracy and compliance in mind

About You

We're looking for someone who knows their way around payroll-but more importantly, someone with solid, practical knowledge of long service leave and how to interpret entitlements. You will bring:

  • Demonstrated payroll experience
  • Strong understanding of long service leave legislation and entitlements
  • High attention to detail with investigative skills for legacy and paper-based data
  • Ability to work independently while following direction from the Payroll Manager
  • Confidence in managing data integrity across multiple payroll systems

The Benefits

  • 10-week contract with immediate start
  • Flexible start and finish times-work your 7.6 hours when it suits you
  • Work-from-home Mondays and Tuesdays
  • Based in South Brisbane
  • Opportunity to work on a high-impact project in a growing business
