About the role

What a payroll clerk does in Birmingham.

A Birmingham business hiring a payroll clerk — or a candidate weighing up an offer — deserves a real figure, not a national average dressed up as local. Day to day, that typically includes calculating ssp, smp & spp — one of several things a payroll clerk in Birmingham is trusted to get right. Locally, that includes internationally recognised brands with large, high-volume finance teams. In a market like Birmingham, that local knowledge is what turns a rough estimate into a figure you can actually act on.

“Danny provided us resources for over 4 years. He was extremely professional, always understood our requirements and delivered excellent candidates usually at short notice.” — Fanny Anderson, Head of Commercial, Citroën
