- Act as the main point of contact for payroll, benefits and pension queries
Supporting Systems Change
- Maintain payroll stability while the wider team delivers an HR system change
- Work confidently with payroll and people systems to manage data accurately
- Identify issues early and ensure continuity of service during transition
Compliance & Governance
- Stay up to date with payroll and pensions legislation
- Support audits, controls and procedural updates
- Ensure payroll data and processes meet statutory and internal requirements
