We are looking for an experienced Systems Payroll Consultant to join us on a 6-month contract. The role will be based in Ashby, with 1–2 days per week on site.
The successful consultant will review our current payroll processes and systems, identify opportunities to streamline and improve efficiency, and provide practical recommendations.

Key Responsibilities

- Troubleshoot existing system issues and identify root causes where possible.
- Review the split of responsibilities and processes between HRSS and Payroll.
- Review the new starter process, identifying opportunities to speed up processing and reduce manual intervention. We currently process approximately 80 new starters per month, although this varies.
- Investigate a current issue within Worklinq where functionality is not working as expected and the root cause is currently unknown.
- Review the full employee lifecycle, including starters, leavers, job changes and pay increases.
- Review processes around variable pay, shift allowances, overtime and other payments.
