Payroll Analyst
Job Title: Payroll Analysts
We're looking for two experienced Payroll Analysts to join our Payroll team on a 12-month fixed-term contract. Based in Bradford, this role offers hybrid working with an expectation of being in the office on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
This is a hands-on payroll role supporting the delivery of payroll services for a large, complex workforce of approximately 11,500 employees. We're looking for individuals who have managed high-volume payrolls and can confidently hit the ground running from day one.
This role would suit someone with a strong payroll background who enjoys working in a fast-paced environment with strict deadlines and a high degree of accuracy. We are specifically seeking experienced payroll professionals with end-to-end payroll processing expertise rather than candidates whose experience is primarily within accounting or finance.
What will you be doing?
- Resolve complex payroll queries and issues, escalating when required.
- Process payroll transactions accurately and on time.
- Support payroll payments, including credit transfers and emergency CHAPS payments.
- Ensure accurate statutory deductions and timely submission of all statutory returns, including taxable benefits.
- Manage non statutory deductions, ensuring correct payments and returns to third party organisations.
- Deliver high quality, customer focused payroll advice to employees, managers, and external stakeholders.
- Maintain compliance with payroll legislation and statutory requirements.
- Monitor statutory and company changes and support timely payroll system updates in collaboration with IT teams.
- Contribute to payroll projects and continuous improvement of systems, processes, and controls.
