Payroll Officer

Due to continual growth, Site Services is seeking an experienced and driven Payroll Officer to join our team based in Eagle Farm. This role is ideal for a strong leader with a payroll background who thrives in a fast-paced environment.

The Role

Reporting to our Cheif Financial Officer, the role will be the first time we have had one person genuinely own payroll from end to end. You would own it, not assist with it.

• Running the end to end payroll, start to finish
• Processing new starters, employee changes, terminations, redundancies and final pays
• Checking timesheet and attendance data, then calculating the overtime, allowances and penalties that fall out of it
• Owning the move onto a single payroll platform including data, parallel runs and cutover
• Interpreting awards, agreements and contracts, then making the call when the wording is unclear
• Superannuation, PAYG withholding, payroll tax, employee deductions and Single Touch Payroll reporting and reconciliation
• Maintaining employee records and contracts, and keeping leave accruals right across annual, personal, long service and parental leave
• Managing workers compensation claims and the transactions that follow them
• Being the first point of contact for employees and managers on anything pay related
• Supporting the wider finance function with reconciliations, and reporting

About You

You are the kind of Payroll Officer who reads the award properly before answering, and who would rather raise an awkward question early than find the problem inside a pay run. You are comfortable being the only person who does this job, and comfortable that it makes you visible when something goes wrong. You have run a system move before, or you have watched one done badly and know exactly what you would do differently. Discretion matters here, because payroll sits close to information people are entitled to keep private, and you treat that as a given rather than a policy.

Skills & Experience

To be effective in the Payroll Officer role, you will likely bring:

• Several years running payroll end to end in a standalone or lead capacity, rather than as one part of a large team
• Confident interpretation of modern awards and employment agreements, and the judgement to know when to seek advice
• Working knowledge of a cloud payroll platform, ideally including a migration from one to another
• Strong reconciliation discipline across superannuation, PAYG, payroll tax and STP
• Comfort moving between payroll and general administration work
• Experience with the Building and Construction Award, Traffio, Xero and Employment Hero are highly desirable,

What's on Offer:

• Remuneration Package paid weekly ($85,000 per year)
• Onsite Parking
• Direct access to our Financial Controller being reshaped around better information
• A permanent role in a business investing ahead of its growth rather than behind it
