Apprentice Payroll Assistant

The vacancy is for an apprentice payroll assistant who will be part of our bureau team. We have three main parts to the business, projects, support and bureau.

The payroll administrator role is the main entry point to the business where experience is built with the eventual possibility progressing within the bureau team or graduating into one of the other more specialist teams.

The bureau team is responsible for the day to day processing of payrolls.

Most of our payrolls collect data through an internet portal and this is then checked and processed.

Some customers provide data on spreadsheets and a few by other means and it all needs to be entered into the system so that tax/ National Insurance etc. can be calculated, payslips produced and payments to employees made.

Reporting to the bureau manager, the candidate will be increasingly involved in all aspects of the payroll processing, including entering data, liaising with customers and problem solving.
