We are a committed equal opportunities employer that champions Dignity in the Workplace. Our focus is to provide customers with fully integrated and innovative packaging solutions, augmented by outstanding customer service.

**The Payroll Administrator Role**
This is a new opportunity, created largely due to growth and expansion. Working closely with the existing Payroll Co-ordinator, you will support the processing of a monthly pay cycle for approximately 1000 employees, on multiple payrolls, including European sites. Whilst payroll is administered through an external provider (currently ADP), the majority of processing is managed in-house.

This is a particularly busy time for the team, the first half of the year sees sizable payroll projects including the transfer of acquisition payrolls to the Group, in addition to a full payroll system upgrade. You will support the implementation of these projects.

We are a service driven team and take a fluid approach when responding to the needs of the business. This can be challenging when juggling multiple tasks within tight timescales.

**Payroll Administrator Key Duties**
- Collation of monthly payroll data within required time limits and authorisation guidelines
- Data entry and system updates
- Completion of monthly reporting and ad-hoc management reporting requirements

- Dealing with queries from managers and employees
- Supporting annual budget processes
- Supporting statutory leave requirements
- Supporting tax year end processes
- Supporting internal and external audits
- Ensuring legal compliance
- Keeping up to date with payroll legislation
- Involvement in auto-enrolment processes
- Maintaining employee files
- Involvement in the employee life cycle - starter and leaver processes
- Supporting HR Administration activities and project-based work

**Do you have the correct profile?**
We are looking for an experienced administrator, ideally from a payroll, accountancy or finance background, with at least 12 months in an administrative role.

You will have strong organisational skills and be accustomed to dealing with high volumes of data, received from multiple sources, within a limited time period. We operate within a fast moving and demanding environment, therefore flexibility is key.

You will be efficient, with an analytical and methodical approach. Accuracy is key and you must have strong attention to detail. You will understand the importance of audit and compliance requirements with the ability to cope under pressure. You must be competent in Microsoft office and in particular excel, being proficient in various formulas.

**Our Benefits**
We provide a competitive basic starting salary and operate a range of rewarding bonus/incentive schemes. Our flexible employee benefits package can include:
- 25 days annual leave (rising to 27 days with service) plus all public/bank holidays
- Additional Holiday purchasing scheme (run annually)
- Contributory pension scheme
- Free parking at the majority of our site locations
- Annual (company paid) volunteering day
- Range of company cars or cash allowance (including hybrid/electric) for qualifying job roles

- Simply Health/Dental Cover option or BUPA cover for qualifying roles
- Enhanced HR policies relating to various employee rights & entitlements
- Long service awards (5-40 years)
