Description

As Apprentice Payroll Assistant, you will be based in the accounts center within the head office, reporting to and supported by the Payroll
Manager.

You will be responsible for a variety of duties including:

• Assisting with the upkeep of the Payroll relevant data on the HR System
• Ensuring relevant paperwork is received for payroll processing
• Processing Starters and Leavers
• Processing variable payments including bonus, commission, and overtime
• Pension Administration
• Keeping accurate monthly records on the payroll processing
• Assisting employees with payroll and pension queries.

You will be expected to have regular contact with the staff and managers around the business to assist them in ensuring the payroll relevant information is received on time and is correct, assisting them with pulling relevant reports from the system, and inputting additional information where required.

The role is based on strict deadlines. This means that there are times in the month where the workload is heavy and will involve long periods of time on the computer undertaking sometimes monotonous tasks.

Entry requirements

We require the successful applicant to hold a grade C (4) GCSE in both Maths and English, or the Level 2 equivalent in functional skills.

Training to be provided

• The learner will be studying the Payroll Administrator Level 3 Apprenticeship Standard qualification.
• Functional skills will be studied if equivalent qualifications are not held.

Things to consider

Other times of the month will be very slow when we are awaiting information from other areas of the business (this will be the time to focus on your studies). Dealing with peoples pay can mean dealing with emotional employees if they feel they have been paid incorrectly. This role is entirely office-based.
