About the role

Payroll & Admin Apprentice 🚀

Are you ready to kickstart your career in payroll and administration? We're looking for an enthusiastic and detail-oriented apprentice to join our team! This is an awesome opportunity to learn the ropes of payroll processing, data entry, and crucial compliance tasks while supporting our Payroll Manager. 💼

What you'll be doing:

• Payroll Processing & Data Entry: You'll be helping to input and update all employee payroll info – think new hires, people leaving, and simple pay adjustments. ✍️ You'll also be involved in checking and entering timesheets, making sure everything's ready for payroll deadlines. Plus, you'll assist with routine payroll changes and monthly prep, keeping a close eye on accuracy before anything is processed. We'll also count on you to help maintain spot-on holiday, sickness, and absence records. 🗓️
• Compliance & Statutory Administration: Get ready to dive into the world of UK payroll legislation! You'll learn about PAYE, National Insurance, statutory sick, maternity, and paternity pay, and pension contributions. 🤓 You'll assist with RTI data checks and basic HMRC submissions, and ensure all employee payroll records are super accurate and kept confidential, following GDPR rules. Following our internal payroll processes is key, and you'll know when to flag any questions or errors to the Payroll Manager. 🔒
• Employee Queries & Payroll Support: You'll be the first point of contact for employees with straightforward payroll questions. 💬 You'll respond to these queries via email, phone, or face-to-face, and know when to pass on trickier issues to the Payroll Manager. Helping with holiday pay calculations is also part of the gig! 🌟
• Wider Payroll Administration: Our payroll team does more than just payroll! You might also help with tasks like processing Parking Charge Notices, issuing birthday vouchers 🎉, requesting probation reviews, and keeping records of holiday and sickness taken updated. There will be other payroll and employee admin tasks too, so expect a varied and engaging role!
