About the Opportunity
We’re looking for an experienced payroll professional to provide short-term support to a friendly and well-established team. You’ll work closely with a highly experienced Payroll Advisor, acting as the second set of eyes across a varied fortnightly payroll.

  • Check timesheets, overtime, tax codes, deductions and allowances
  • Support payroll for permanent, fixed-term, casual and expatriate employees
  • Ensure payroll checks are completed accurately and within each pay cycle
What You’ll Bring
You don’t need to know every payroll system under the sun, but you will need solid hands-on New Zealand payroll experience and the confidence to pick things up quickly.
  • Previous experience processing or checking New Zealand payroll
  • Confidence calculating final pays, leave, terminations and redundancies
  • Strong attention to detail and a methodical approach to your work
  • The ability to follow established processes and identify discrepancies
  • A positive, adaptable attitude and confidence asking questions when needed
  • Experience with JadeStar would be helpful but is not essential. 

What’s on Offer
  • Approximately 20 hours per week, worked flexibly within business hours
  • A four week assignment with possibility of extending 
  • Wellington preferred, with Auckland and Christchurch also considered
  • Flexibility around working days and start and finish times
