Job Description:
We’re looking for an experienced Payroll Manager to lead our payroll function and ensure accurate, timely processing for our employees. You’ll manage a team of three payroll professionals, driving efficiency and compliance while fostering a collaborative environment.
Key Responsibilities:
*Oversee end-to-end payroll processing for all employees—including salaries, wages, bonuses, overtime, statutory pay (SSP/SMP/SPP), deductions, and pensions—ensuring accuracy and timeliness every pay period.
*Manage and develop a team of 3 payroll professionals: coach, supervise, train, delegate, and provide performance feedback to maintain high standards.
*Maintain and refine payroll systems and processes: collect data, reconcile time records (rotas/timesheets), update payroll software, and conduct regular audits to drive efficiency and minimise errors.
*Ensure full compliance with UK legislation and regulations (PAYE, NIC, RTI, pensions auto-enrolment, etc.), staying updated with HMRC guidance and implementing policy changes swiftly.
*Coordinate with HR, Finance, and IT: manage employee data updates, support payroll tax audits, submit RTI and year-end forms (P60/P11D), and collaborate on new system implementations.
*Act as the primary contact for payroll queries from employees, management, HMRC, and auditors—investigating issues and providing clear, timely resolutions.
*Generate accurate reports and recommendations: payroll summaries, cost analyses, and audit documentation for management review and decision-making.
*Drive process improvements: review payroll workflows, suggest enhancements (e.g., system upgrades or policy updates), and lead implementation of best practices
What We’re Looking For:
*Proven experience in payroll management (ideally in a multi-site or complex environment).
*Strong knowledge of UK payroll legislation and pension schemes.
*Previous experience managing a team.
*Excellent attention to detail and problem-solving skills.
*Proficiency in payroll software (e.g., Sage, ADP, or similar).
*Ability to manage deadlines and work under pressure.
*Strong communication and leadership skills.
Benefits:
*Competitive salary and bonus scheme.
*Flexible working options.
*Generous holiday allowance.
*Pension and other benefits.
