What is Payroll?

What does a Payroll Officer or Payroll Manager do?

People working in Payroll are primarily responsible for the management of end-to-end payroll processes for an organisation. Payroll officers, coordinators and managers sometimes report to a qualified accountant within a company and may work closely with the Chief Financial Officer (CFO).

The Daily Tasks of a Payroll Officer/Manager

The day-to-day tasks carried out by someone working in Payroll include:

dealing with a high volume of employees for payroll purposes
processing the payroll for employees and making the necessary pay adjustments
entering new employee data and managing the entitlements of employees who are leaving an organisation
maintaining employee computer records, such as personal details, pay rates, allowances, deductions, superannuation, leave accruals etc.
preparing and distributing payment summaries to employees
carrying out electronic remittance of payment summary information to the ATO
preparation and payment of annual payroll tax returns for all states

Payroll officers, coordinators and managers are typically employed by a business on a part-time or full-time basis. Often they are able to find work with a healthy work-life balance. Some accounts payable officers and managers also provide bookkeeping and BAS services on a contract basis.

We cover the soft skills and qualifications you need to work in Payroll as well as ways you can upskill:
