Payroll Administrator Job Description
Temping Agency is partnering with a leading national logistics operator based at the bustling Leeds Logistics Hub in LS9 to recruit a diligent and accurate Payroll Administrator. This role sits at the heart of their operations, ensuring that a large, diverse workforce – including HGV Drivers (Class 1 / Class 2), warehouse operatives, and office staff – are paid correctly and on time. The client is a household name in UK logistics, known for its investment in technology and its people.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a payroll professional seeking stability within a dynamic sector. You will join a dedicated finance team, using industry-leading software to manage high-volume payroll cycles. We specialise in connecting talented individuals with logistics and industrial employers who value precision and reliability. If you have experience with complex shift patterns, multi-site payroll, or unionised workforces commonly found in transport and light industrial settings, your skills are in high demand.

Act as the first point of contact for all payroll-related queries from employees and line managers, providing clear, timely, and compliant resolutions. Liaise with HR and operational teams to validate starters, leavers, and contractual changes.

Reporting & Compliance: Generate detailed payroll reports for management, including cost analysis, headcount, and absence tracking. Ensure full compliance with RTI submissions, pension auto-enrolment, and year-end processes (P60, P11D). Stay updated on changes in UK payroll legislation.
- 4
Systems & Process Improvement: Utilise the company's chosen payroll software (e.g., Sage, ADP, BrightPay) efficiently. Identify opportunities to streamline payroll processes, reduce errors, and enhance the overall employee experience regarding pay.

Frequently Asked Questions
What specific payroll software experience is required for this Leeds LS9 role?
The client uses a mainstream, cloud-based payroll solution (exact system disclosed upon shortlisting). While direct experience with their specific software is beneficial, we are primarily looking for candidates with strong core payroll skills and proficiency in any major UK payroll platform (e.g., Sage, BrightPay, ADP, Moneysoft). Your ability to adapt to new systems and processes is more important. We can provide details to help you prepare for the interview.
Is there the possibility for this temporary role to become permanent?
Yes, absolutely. This is a temp-to-perm assignment. The initial period allows both you and the employer to ensure the role is a good fit. The client has explicitly stated their intention to move the successful candidate onto a permanent contract following a successful probationary period. Performance, reliability, and cultural fit will be the deciding factors.

Temping Agency recruits for a vast array of roles across Yorkshire and the UK. If payroll isn't your niche, we are also actively recruiting for positions like HGV Drivers (Class 1 / Class 2), Sales Representatives, and School Cleaners in various locations. Explore our job board or speak to a consultant about your transferable skills. For example, we also help fill health visitor jobs in LS5 and warehouse jobs in Edinburgh.
What is the expected timeline from application to job offer?
Given the urgent need, our process is exceptionally fast. We aim to contact suitable candidates within 24 hours of receiving a CV. Interviews are being scheduled within 2-3 business days.
