Are you passionate about payroll advisory? Become part of our Payroll team

Do you want to be part of a strong professional environment where you make a difference for managers and employees? Do you thrive in a specialist role where you advise on salaries, collective agreements and working time rules? Then you may be our new colleague in the Payroll Team with a particular focus on the children-, youth- and culture area.

An important professional role with a high level of contact

The Payroll Team handles a central advisory function in Middelfart Municipality. We help managers and administrative staff navigate in KMD Opus, municipal collective agreements, working time rules, maternity leave, holidays, absences and much more. We do not report the payroll – we ensure that others do it correctly. That means our most important task is to support the organization with competent advice, professional sparring and quality assurance.

About the job

We are looking for a payroll consultant who wants to become part of the payroll consultant group that supports the Children-, Youth- and Culture area. You will among other things take responsibility for advising and guiding on collective agreements and working time rules within the day care and school sector as well as handling reimbursement tasks.

In Middelfart Municipality, payroll reporting is mainly decentralised. We therefore act as consultants for the municipality’s institutions and employees, and a large part of our work consists of supporting the decentral payroll submissions.

Your tasks will include

• Advice on municipal collective agreements and working time rules.
• Guidance on holiday, maternity/paternity and absence rules.
• Professional sparring with managers and administrative staff.
• Control and quality assurance of decentralised payroll submissions.
• Handling of reimbursement tasks.
• Ongoing interpretation and communication of rules and agreements.

Who are you?

We are looking for a colleague who

• Is keen to work with payroll administration – experience from the public sector is a big advantage.
• Can advise and guide.
• Thrives in a specialist role with high complexity and an eye for detail.
• Thrives in an environment where not everything is finished or fixed, but where we find good solutions together.
• Can work in a structured way and maintain an overview, even when pace is high.
• Is smiling, approachable and a team player who contributes to the good atmosphere in the team.

Become part of a strong community

You will become part of a Payroll Team with seven payroll consultants and an apprentice in public administration. We are part of a newly established HR department, which also includes Occupational Health, Health From Within and Personnel Law. We place great emphasis on professional sparring, knowledge sharing and a good collegial community. With us, the tone is informal, the well-being is good, and we always help each other.

We have a busy everyday life, where the day does not always unfold as planned. It requires flexibility, an overview and a desire to find solutions together. For a price you’ll gain great influence on your own task solving and a flexible room of opportunity where responsibility and decisions largely lie with you. We expect commitment and initiative, but we also know that the best solutions arise when we use each other’s competences and help each other.
