Job Description

Payroll Processing & Delivery

• Process day-to-day, end-to-end payroll for all employees across weekly, fortnightly, and monthly cycles – pay runs, reconciliations, overpayments, termination calculations, and reporting – accurately and on time.

• Create and review off-cycle and ad hoc payments, and validate payroll inputs including timesheets, benefits, deductions, and bonuses.

• Action Payroll Control Centre (PCC) alerts to maintain payroll accuracy, and manage end-to-end termination processing – final pay, Employment Termination Payments (ETPs), redundancy, leave encashments, and statutory reporting.

Compliance & Governance

• Ensure end-to-end compliance with Australian payroll legislation – Fair Work Act, National Employment Standards, Modern Awards, Enterprise Agreements, and applicable federal and state regulations – alongside New Zealand requirements.

• Interpret and apply Modern Awards and Enterprise Agreements accurately: classifications, overtime, penalty rates, allowances, shift loadings, public-holiday payments, and leave entitlements.

• Monitor and apply legislative and regulatory change (Fair Work, ATO, Superannuation, Wage Theft, Payroll Tax, state obligations), and validate employee and contractor classifications to mitigate misclassification risk.

• Act as the Australia payroll subject-matter expert for the client and internal employees, and resolve escalated and Tier 2 payroll queries within SLA, supporting the People Advisory team.

• Respond to employee queries on pay, deductions, and benefits, provide guidance on payroll policies and procedures, and escalation complex issues to leadership for resolution.

• Provide training and guidance to junior payroll staff.

Systems, Change & Continuous Improvement

• Work across multiple platforms – SAP Payroll, SuccessFactors, Kronos, and Spinifex (Help Desk, Reporter, Documents) – to optimise payroll and team-member lifecycle processes, maintaining confidentiality and data integrity across all records.
