Payroll Specialist

Payroll Specialist

Up to £300 per day (Umbrella)

Initial 3-Month Contract

Hybrid - 2 Days a Week in Manchester Office

This role will need to operate through an Umbrella company and all employer, employee tax and NI will be deducted from the rate.

Our global client is seeking a detail-oriented Payroll Specialist to support a high-profile reconciliation project involving HMRC employee NI undercharges. This contract role offers up to £300 per day (Umbrella) and is ideal for an experienced professional ready to hit the ground running in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.

You'll be joining an established payroll function with four existing Payroll Specialists focused on BAU, allowing you to concentrate solely on a critical 2-year backdated reconciliation and review process.

As a Payroll Specialist, you'll play a key role in reviewing historical payroll data, ensuring correct PAYE allocation, addressing overpayments, and working through 14 cases (not all with discrepancies). Pre-built reports will be available for download via HMRC, and while the organisation uses HiBob and ADP, experience with these systems is not essential.

Benefits of the Payroll Specialist Contract:

• Competitive daily rate - up to £300 per day (Umbrella)
• Fully focused project work, no BAU distractions
• Flexible hybrid working environment
• Exposure to high-level reconciliation processes
• Opportunity to work alongside a knowledgeable payroll team

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead reconciliation of HMRC employee NI undercharges
• Review and analyse 2 years of payroll history
• Investigate PAYE reference misallocations
• Resolve overpayment issues and discrepancies
• Collaborate with the payroll team to share insights and findings

This Payroll Specialist role is perfect for someone with strong analytical skills, a proactive mindset, and a deep understanding of PAYE, NI, and HMRC processes. If you enjoy tackling complex payroll issues and delivering clean, accurate solutions, we want to hear from you.
