The Payroll Officer is a key position within the business reporting jointly to the Financial Controller and Group HR Manager. As a stand-alone position, the Payroll Officer is responsible for end-to-end processing of weekly payroll and for associated accounting functions ensuring company compliance with all taxation, superannuation and other legislative obligations.
