$60,000 – $70,000
We're working with a well-regarded Brisbane-based business to find a Payroll Administrator who can step in and manage a weekly and fortnightly payroll cycle with minimal hand-holding. The team is small, the workload is manageable, and there's a clear path to take on more responsibility as you settle in.
This is an office-based role located in Brisbane's inner suburbs, with parking available on-site.
What you'll be doing day to day:
- Processing weekly and fortnightly payroll for a workforce of approximately 150–200 employees
- Managing onboarding and offboarding in the payroll system — new starters, terminations, and changes to employment details
- Calculating leave entitlements, overtime, allowances, and deductions in line with applicable Awards and agreements
- Handling payroll queries from employees and managers directly
- Preparing and lodging superannuation payments and Single Touch Payroll (STP) reporting
- Reconciling payroll accounts and assisting with month-end reporting
- Maintaining accurate employee records and ensuring data integrity across the system
What we're looking for:
- At least 1–2 years of hands-on payroll processing experience
- Working knowledge of Australian payroll legislation, Awards, and STP requirements
- Experience with a payroll or HRIS platform — KeyPay, Micropay, or similar is a plus
- Strong attention to detail and comfortable working to hard deadlines
- Good communication skills — you'll be the first point of contact for pay-related questions
- A Certificate IV in Payroll or Bookkeeping is well regarded but not essential
What's on offer:
- Salary between $60,000 – $70,000 + super depending on experience
- Stable, Monday–Friday hours with no weekend work
- A supportive team and a manager who's approachable and straight-talking
- On-site parking included
