Payroll and HR Consultant for Horsens Municipality

Payroll and HR Consultant for Horsens Municipality

Do you want to be part of a modern payroll and personnel department where we tackle tasks together, share knowledge and help each other? And does it appeal to you that holidays and other absences do not mean piles of unresolved tasks when you return? Then you might be our new payroll and HR consultant.

About us

Payroll and Personnel Service is a central staff function with 21 employees. We support the entire Horsens Municipality and our vision is to make an impact and lead in collaboration. We focus on integrity and we work to create a strong organization.

We organize our tasks in work communities where several employees share the responsibility. This provides flexibility, high quality and less vulnerability. The work communities are composed across Payroll and Personnel Service and the City Secretariat, which share the same department head and whose tasks are part of the below work communities.

• Data, analysis and control
• Reconciliation and holidays
• Teaching and introduction
• Internal systems
• Daily operations and service desk
• Special employees/special tasks
• Secretariat, ordering and payment

We plan the work week by week, so tasks are distributed across the team. This means we help each other and ensure a stable task resolution, also when colleagues take vacation or are absent.

• Is service-minded and thrives with contact to managers and employees.
• Has experience with administrative tasks, preferably within payroll and HR.
• Has intuitive situational awareness and the ability to read and serve different personas

• Works in a structured way and maintains an overview in a busy daily life.
• Thrives in collaboration and actively contributes to the community.

Why you should choose us
