As head of the department, you will be responsible for leading a team of 2, consisting of a Senior Payroll Administrator and a Payroll Administrator, while ensuring accurate and timely processing of two monthly Payrolls (1,500+ employees at Foxtons and 100 employees at Alexander Hall).
This role will also work closely with the Finance Director advising them on all payroll related matters and regulations (e.g. national living wage regulations, pensions, salary sacrifice benefits, charitable giving, car benefits) and be responsible for transitioning the payroll function of acquired companies onto the Foxtons payroll. You will be reporting into the Finance Director with a dotted line into the HR Director.
Foxtons has recently implemented Zellis’s Resourcelink payroll system and is in the process of updating procedures and training the team on the new system.
