You must have at least 2 years' hands-on experience processing payroll in Ireland.

This is an essential requirement. General accounts/finance experience or payroll experience solely from jurisdictions outside Ireland will not be sufficient for this assignment.

• UK payroll experience – highly desirable

• Excellent numerical accuracy and attention to detail

Hours

Pay & Completion Bonus

€22.13 per hour

You’ll also receive a €2,000 completion bonus upon successful completion of the full two-month assignment.

There is potential for the assignment to be extended depending on business requirements.
