Siemens is seeking an experienced Payroll Officer with strong Superannuation expertise to support payroll operations across multiple Australian and New Zealand entities. This role is ideal for candidates with deep knowledge of superannuation legislation, strong reconciliation skills, and experience working in complex, multi-entity environments.
The successful candidate will be part of a high-performing Shared Services team responsible for ensuring accurate, timely, and compliant superannuation processing—including readiness for upcoming Payday Super reforms.
Key Responsibilities
Superannuation (Primary Focus)
• Manage end-to-end superannuation processing: SG, salary sacrifice, employer contributions.
• Ensure compliance with ATO and APRA requirements, including future Payday Super changes.
• Conduct monthly superannuation reconciliations and investigate contribution variances.
• Liaise with external super funds regarding contribution files, corrections, and member queries.
• Maintain and update superannuation configurations in payroll/HR systems (Workday, SAP, ADP).
• Provide employee support on fund selection, contribution changes, and regulatory questions.
Payroll Support
• Assist with end-to-end payroll processing cycles.
• Validate payroll inputs: new starters, terminations, allowances, ETPs.
• Ensure correct OTE classification and superannuation treatment for all earnings.
• Support audits, RIC controls, and compliance checks.
Stakeholder Management
• Work closely with Finance, HR, payroll vendors, and super funds.
• Provide accurate and timely information to internal and external stakeholders.
• Contribute to process improvements and payroll governance initiatives.
Candidate Requirements
• 2–4+ years’ experience in Payroll or Superannuation administration.
• Strong understanding of Australian superannuation legislation.
• Experience with Workday, SAP, ADP, or similar payroll/HRIS systems.
• High level of accuracy, attention to detail, and reconciliation capability.
• Strong communication skills and comfort working in fast-paced environments.
• Experience with compliance, audits, or control frameworks is a bonus.
Why This Role?
• Join a global, reputable organisation with strong values and a people-first culture.
• Hybrid working model with flexibility.
• Excellent career development and upskilling opportunities within Shared Services.
• Work in a stable team environment with clear processes and ongoing transformation projects.
Additional Information
• This role requires Australian work rights (no sponsorship).
• Experience in multi-entity payroll environments is highly valued.
• Superannuation expertise is the core requirement—payroll generalists without SG experience will not progress.
