Macildowie are working with this client based in Milton Keynes, a £140m turnover business in the food manufacturing industry, to recruit a part-time Payroll Assistant on a 3 to 6 month temporary contract.

This role has come about to support a busy payroll function, particularly focused around month-end processing.

• Supporting manual payroll entries where systems are not API-integrated
• Reviewing and checking submissions to ADP
• Posting payroll journals for month-end reporting
• Providing cover and support to the team during periods of high activity

Key Skills Required:

• Comfortable with manual processes and reviewing data for accuracy
