Payroll Assistant

A Payroll Assistant is required to work for an International Law Firm based in London City on a 9-12 month contract in order to cover maternity leave. Reporting directly to the Payroll manager and working in a finance team of 8 this is an excellent opportunity to work for a well-established and high profile firm in a busy working environment.

On a day to day basis you will assist the Payroll Manager with processing the monthly payroll for 450 employees based in the UK. You will take responsibility for inputting all the data onto the Snowdrop system, updating starters and leavers, dealing with NI, holiday pay and processing P45's/P11D's.

The key for this role is a candidate who has strong communication skills and is comfortable liaising with Fee Earners and Partners across the business. Previous experience working in the Legal industry and knowledge of Snowdrop is beneficial but not essential. You must have at least 2 years prior experience where you have been handling the payroll function for a similar number of employees.
