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 special focus on the children, youth and culture area.

An important professional role with a high degree of contact

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

About the job

We are seeking a payroll consultant who wants to become part of the payroll consultant group that supports the Children, Youth and Cultural area. Among other things you will have responsibility for advising on collective agreements and working-time rules within the day-care center and school sector, as well as handling reimbursement tasks.

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

Your tasks will include, among other things

• 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 dissemination of rules and agreements.

Who are you?

We are looking for a colleague who

• Has the courage 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 together find good solutions.
• Can work in a structured way and maintain an overview, even when pace is high.
• Is friendly, approachable and a team player who contributes to the good spirit 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, well-being is good, and we always help each other.

We have a busy daily life, where the day does not always develop as we had planned. It requires flexibility, an overview and a willingness to find solutions together. In return, you get a strong influence on your own task-solving and a flexible space of opportunity, where responsibility and decisions largely rest with you. We expect commitment and initiative, but we also know that the best solutions arise when we use each other's competencies and make each other look good.
