I’m working with a well established WA business looking for an experienced Payroll Officer to join their team on a fixed term contract through to June 2027.

With a new payroll system implementation on the horizon, you’ll play an important role in keeping day-to-day payroll running smoothly while the existing team supports the project.

You’ll be joining a supportive payroll team, reporting to the Payroll Lead and working alongside another team member, so you’ll always have someone to bounce things off.

• Maintaining accurate employee records in SAP HR.

• Responding to payroll queries from employees and managers.

• Supporting year-end activities and STP reporting as required.

• Ensuring payroll is processed in line with relevant legislation, agreements and employment conditions.

What we're looking for

You'll be a hands-on payroll professional who can hit the ground running and is comfortable working with complex pay conditions.

Ideally, you'll bring:

• Strong SAP payroll experience – essential.

• Experience interpreting and applying EBAs and modern awards.

• Knowledge of Australian payroll legislation, superannuation and taxation.

• Experience with salary sacrifice and employee benefits.

• Strong attention to detail and the ability to investigate and resolve payroll discrepancies.

• Good communication skills and a team-focused approach.

• ADP timesheet experience would be an advantage.

What's on offer?

• Fixed-term contract through to June 2027.

• Hybrid working, with one day from home once you're up to speed.

• Flexibility around start and finish times.

• A modern Perth CBD office.

• A supportive team environment where you'll have help when you need it.

• The opportunity to play a key role in maintaining BAU payroll during a significant systems project.
