Payroll Clerk

Our client has an immediate need for a Payroll Clerk to provide maternity leave coverage for approximately 4+ months. This individual must be in seat quickly to allow for proper training before the leave begins (baby due early April). While this is a contract role, there is potential for contract-to-hire depending on long-term needs. This is an excellent opportunity for an entry-level or early-career payroll professional to gain hands-on experience supporting a large employee population in a structured, compliance-focused environment. The Payroll Clerk will support payroll operations for approximately 900 employees, primarily biweekly payroll, with a smaller UK team paid monthly. This role focuses heavily on payroll preparation, timekeeping review, auditing, and discrepancy resolution. The individual will work closely with HR and Accounting to ensure accurate payroll processing.
