The Opportunity

Multiple opportunities exist for payroll officers with payroll experience within the Australian Public Service to work in a busy and fast-paced environment that will offer you challenges while operating in a supportive team which will help keep you sane during the throws of payroll disasters!

• Leave amendments and audits
• Commencements, promotions and extensions
• Salary and allowance processing
• Maternity and long service leave
• Replying to queries from internal staff
• Calculating complex payroll processing including calculations for shift workers, overtime conditions etc

Your Background and Experience

As an experienced Payroll Processing Officer, you will have an excellent attitude with strong attention to detail and clear and concise communication skills. In addition to this, you will be capable of working either autonomously or in a team and will be motivated by a fast-paced and energetic environment.

You will require excellent analytical skills with the ability to identify numerical errors and use analytical skills to assist with business operations. Your ability to engage with diverse stakeholders and provide expert advice will see you achieve success in this role.

You will have demonstrated previous APS payroll processing experience and ideally a current Baseline security clearance although this is not mandatory – the department will sponsor you!
