About the Company

Our client is a well-established organisation that has grown significantly through acquisition, now employing over 1,000 staff across multiple states. With this growth comes complexity—and that’s where you come in. They are undertaking a dedicated project to migrate long service leave data into a new Payroll and Time & Attendance system, and need an experienced payroll professional to get the job done right.


About the Role

Working under the guidance of the Payroll Manager, you will play a hands-on role in converting and reconciling long service leave entitlements for 1,000 employees. This will involve:

  • Extrapolating timesheet data from multiple payroll systems across different states
  • Converting calculations from hours to weeks for migration into the new system
  • Handling both straightforward and complex cases, depending on service history and legacy employer arrangements
  • Investigating and verifying data, including paper-based records
  • Applying the correct long service leave codes with accuracy and compliance in mind

About You

We’re looking for someone who knows their way around payroll—but more importantly, someone with solid, practical knowledge of long service leave and how to interpret entitlements. You will bring:

  • Demonstrated payroll experience
  • Strong understanding of long service leave legislation and entitlements
  • High attention to detail with investigative skills for legacy and paper-based data
  • Ability to work independently while following direction from the Payroll Manager
  • Confidence in managing data integrity across multiple payroll systems

The Benefits

  • 10-week contract with immediate start
  • Flexible start and finish times—work your 7.6 hours when it suits you
  • Work-from-home Mondays and Tuesdays
  • Based in South Brisbane
  • Opportunity to work on a high-impact project in a growing business
