Remote Recruitment is looking for a Payroll Administrator to work from home in South Africa for a UK employer. Payroll is the one thing that has to be right every single month, and this role is for someone who takes that seriously and enjoys the detail.

Full-time and 100% remote, working 09:00–17:00 UK time (11:00–19:00 SAST).

  • Calculate overtime, statutory payments, deductions and expenses
  • Answer payroll queries from employees clearly and discreetly
  • Reconcile payroll reports and support year-end processes
  • Keep records in line with data protection requirements

What you will need

  • Experience with payroll processing in a business or bureau environment
  • Familiarity with payroll software such as Sage, Xero, BrightPay or similar
  • Confident spreadsheet skills and strong numerical accuracy
  • Discretion with confidential information
  • A quiet home workspace, reliable computer and stable fibre internet
  • A backup power solution for load shedding

What is on offer

  • A permanent, fully remote position with a UK employer
  • Predictable UK business hours
  • Training on UK payroll rules if you are coming from a South African payroll background
  • Progression into payroll management or wider finance roles

UK payroll experience is a bonus, not a requirement. Apply through Remote Recruitment and we will help you get up to speed.
