Payroll / Finance Officer
We are Tasmanians operating Hadley’s Orient Hotel and The Old Woolstore Apartment Hotel, two of Tasmania’s most loved independent hotels in Hobart’s CBD. We proudly employ aspiring and proven hospitality professionals, and we’re committed to being an employer of choice.
We’re looking for an experienced payroll operative with the primary responsibility to manage our weekly payroll function, including associated reporting, who can also contribute strongly to our inhouse finance team through accounts payable, reconciliations, and associated duties.
We are pleased to offer a part-time role – approximately three days per week – with the daily hours of work negotiable.
A working understanding of, and experience interpreting the Hospitality Industry (General) Award (HIGA) will be highly regarded.
About the role
Reporting to the Corporate Services Manager, you’ll take ownership of our end-to-end payroll function. Our weekly payroll processing typically occurs on Monday. Attention to detail, knowledge of payroll processes and legislation and great communication skills are critical to this role.
This role will require close collaboration with our human resources team and play a vital role in ensuring the accuracy and compliance of our payroll information and settings, while also seeking to improve our efficiency and practice.
Our successful candidate will bring at least five years’ payroll experience, ideally in a multi-site hospitality environment, along with a strong understanding of statutory payroll requirements, reporting obligations and compliance. Experience with Employment Hero will be favourably considered, as will experience using MYOB and Xero. You will have a demonstrable ability to interpret the HIGA, a high level of attention to detail, and a strong commitment to confidentiality.
Well-developed organisational skills, the ability to meet deadlines and manage your own workload, confident communication and solid MS Excel, Word and Outlook skills will be necessary to succeed in this role.
Opportunities for growth and development may be available for the right candidate. If you’re looking to join a friendly, engaging workplace that genuinely values positive culture, wellbeing and long-term success, we’d love to hear from you. Please apply via Seek or Employment Hero, addressing your application to Tanya Welch, Corporate Services Manager, and include a cover letter outlining your relevant skills and experience and why you want to work with us.
