Payroll Administrator
Location: Harrow (HA1 1BH)
Salary: 30-33K
Position: Full-time, Permanent
About Our Client
We are recruiting on behalf of a well-established, fast-paced business based in Harrow. They are a leader in their sector and are known for supporting their staff with genuine career development, including financial sponsorship for professional payroll qualifications.
The Role
Our client is looking for a proactive Payroll Administrator to join their structured payroll team. Reporting directly to the Payroll Manager, you will play an active role in making sure both weekly and monthly staff payrolls are processed accurately and completely on time. This is a brilliant opportunity for someone with foundational payroll experience who wants to step up, handle high volumes of data, and learn advanced calculations.
Day-to-Day Responsibilities
- Input high volumes of weekly timesheets directly into the payroll system.
- Process starter and leaver paperwork, including issuing P45s and handling HMRC or DWP queries.
- Calculate manual payroll adjustments like overtime, holiday pay, and tax code updates.
- Administer statutory deductions including SSP, SMP, CSP, Court Orders, and CSA payments.
- Maintain and update internal tracking spreadsheets on a monthly basis.
- Organize and archive payroll records for quick retrieval and audit purposes.
- Support the Payroll Supervisor and Manager with ad-hoc tasks and projects.
What We Are Looking For
- Industry Experience: Previous experience in payroll processing is essential. Experience within the construction sector is a major plus, but not a dealbreaker.
- Core Payroll Knowledge: A solid understanding of start-to-finish payroll tasks, including tax, National Insurance, and holiday calculations.
- Tech Skills: Good working knowledge of Microsoft Excel and Word.
- Education: A strong general education, including GCSE Maths and English (Grades A*-C / 9-4) or equivalent.
- Traits: A sharp eye for detail, strong organizational skills, and a confident telephone manner.
What’s on Offer
- Full training on complex calculations like redundancies.
- Company-funded sponsorship to gain formal payroll qualifications.
- A supportive, team-focused working environment.
