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).

You will learn Payroll accounting as the advanced module of our Online Accounting training courses.

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:
