Administration Officer - Payroll
- Provide administrative support to the Payroll Manager and team.
- Maintain accurate employee and payroll-related documentation.
- Assist with various payroll-related tasks and data entry.
Are you an organised administrator who loves getting the details right and keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes?
MADEC Australia is looking for a Casual Payroll Administrator to join our Labour Hire team in Mildura, providing valuable administrative support to our Payroll Manager, Payroll Officers and broader team.
This isn't a role where you'll be expected to walk in and run payroll. Instead, you'll help make sure the information, documentation and systems our payroll team relies on are complete, accurate and up to date.
It's a great opportunity for someone with strong administration and data-entry skills who enjoys detailed work and would like to gain exposure to a busy payroll environment.
What you'll be doing
You'll support the team with a variety of day-to-day administration, including:
- Setting up and maintaining employee, host and job information within our systems
- Maintaining accurate client and employee records
- Checking documentation for completeness and accuracy
- Checking visa documentation against passport information
- Assisting with TFN applications for workers arriving in Australia
- Uploading and maintaining employee and payroll-related documentation
- Maintaining information relating to authorised PALM worker deductions and loans
- Assisting with employee onboarding documentation and checklists
- Supporting email correspondence, mailouts and other team communications
- Assisting with payslip and report distribution
- Completing system housekeeping and maintaining accurate records
- Compiling data and information for ad hoc reporting
- Creating and maintaining administrative templates and documents
- Providing general administrative support to the Payroll Manager and broader team
About you
We're looking for someone who is comfortable working with detailed information and takes pride in being accurate, organised and dependable.
You'll ideally bring:
- Previous administration, data entry or office support experience
- Excellent attention to detail and a high level of accuracy
- Confidence working across different computer systems
- Good Microsoft Office skills, particularly Excel
- Strong organisation and time-management skills
- The ability to manage competing priorities and meet deadlines
- Clear written and verbal communication skills
- A collaborative approach and willingness to help wherever needed
- Confidence working with confidential and sensitive information
Previous exposure to payroll, finance, labour hire or HR administration would be an advantage, but isn't essential.
