Transaction Recruitment are supporting our Coventry based client in their search for an experienced Payroll Officer to join them on a permanent basis. You will be working as part of a dynamic payroll function and will be responsible for taking ownership of multiple payrolls from start to finish within a bureau environment. My client is looking for a proactive candidate with a passion for payroll and demonstrable experience of working in an environment where you will be given full autonomy to achieve results. This position is office based, but flexible working is provided upon completion of a probationary period.

Daily duties and experience required includes:

• Minimum of 12 months experience working within a payroll capacity
• Processing starters and leavers
• Calculating holiday and national insurance
• Calculating SSP, SMP and SPP
• Pensions knowledge
• Manual calculations experience
• Confident communication skills
• Query resolution
• Up to date payroll legislation knowledge

In return, my client provides a working environment which promotes a work/life balance, modern open plan offices, free parking, and they are easily accessible by public transport. They have a proud reputation of encouraging employees to develop as the business continues to increase their market share, which has created a longstanding payroll department.
