This role will involve working closely with the organisation's senior leadership team to resolve outstanding issues and to improve compliance and performance within their payroll function.

The Role

Partnering closely with the organisation's senior leadership team this short-term role will involve:

  • Reviewing and recommending changes to the organisation's monthly payroll & HR reports
  • Payroll analysis
  • Presenting a final detailed report with recommendations and actions for the senior leadership team to take forward
