About the Role

As Payroll Manager, you hold overall responsibility for payroll processing for four units within Emballator. You own and drive the entire payroll process – from gathering and quality-assuring data to payroll calculations, disbursements, and reporting.

You work independently in this role, ensuring that salaries are handled correctly, efficiently, and in compliance with laws, collective agreements, and internal guidelines. You are responsible for both collective and salaried employee wages and play a central role in ensuring quality and structure throughout the payroll function.

The role comes with a clear mandate where you are responsible for payroll runs, finalizing salary payments, and reporting to authorities. You are also the system owner for the payroll system and drive the development and efficiency of processes.

You act as an expert support within the organization, assisting managers and employees with questions regarding salary, pensions, and regulations, while contributing to strengthening knowledge and compliance within the organization.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own and drive the entire payroll process from start to finish
• Ensure accurate payroll calculations, processing, and disbursement
• Responsible for reporting to authorities as well as Fora and Collectum
• Manage onboarding and offboarding in relevant systems
• System owner for the payroll system (Kontek) and work within HR systems
• Create and update schedules
• Conduct reconciliations, checks, and quality assurance
• Handle statistics such as sick leave and overtime
• Invoice management within the payroll area
• Ensure compliance with routines, processes, and regulations
• Support and guide managers in salary-related matters
• Drive development and efficiency improvements in payroll processes

The position is based in Ulricehamn, and you report to the HR Director. You also work regularly from the Ljungby unit, and travel is a natural part of the role.

About You

We are looking for someone who is confident in their skills and has experience driving the payroll process independently from start to finish. You have a high level of accuracy and a strong sense of responsibility – you know that the salary must always be correct and paid on time.
