We are looking for a Payroll Administrator

We are looking for someone who thrives in a dynamic and changing environment where everyday life presents varying challenges.

You are curious, solution-oriented, and have no problem navigating a complex organization where not all answers are always given. In this role, you will handle several different collective agreements, taxes, and regulations, giving you the opportunity to develop and broaden your competence in a large and exciting area.

Responsibilities

KTH has a common payroll administration with distributed areas of responsibility. As a payroll administrator with us, you will have many points of contact, primarily within HR but also to some extent directly with our employees, making the role both social and responsible. For those who enjoy structure, responsibility, and development, this is a role where you can truly make a difference.

You will work with the administration of payroll and personnel matters. This includes registering and processing payroll data, handling employment matters in the payroll system, and payroll calculations. Furthermore, you will work with issuing employer certificates, discrepancies from time/absence systems, record maintenance, archiving, payroll controls, and more.

About the Department/Group

You will be part of the payroll group, which currently consists of 11 dedicated employees. The group works in modern, bright offices at the KTH area near Östra station, with good communication links.

The work in the group is characterized by strong commitment, an unpretentious culture, and open communication. Here, independent responsibility is combined with close collaboration, where we strive together for high quality and good results. With us, it is just as natural to share knowledge as it is to help each other in everyday life.

KTH uses the HR8 payroll system, and you will work in a professional environment with established processes and support from knowledgeable colleagues.
