Love working with Excel, have an eye for detail, and spot irregularities straight away? Join our payroll team this cherry season and help ensure hundreds of staff get paid accurately and on time.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Payroll Admin to join our team in Cromwell for the 2025 / 26 cherry harvest season. This fixed-term role runs for 10–13 weeks from late November and offers full-time hours, Monday to Sunday (minimum 30 hours per week).

What the job involves :

  • Processing weekly payroll for seasonal staff
  • Calculating payable hours, bonuses, and deductions
  • Checking timesheets for accuracy and missing clock-ins / outs

  • Ensuring pay rates are accurate and up to date
  • Communicating payroll-related information to management
  • Following NZ employment law and payroll legislation

What We’re Looking For

You’re organised, detail-focused, and confident working with numbers and data.

You are :

  • Proficient in Excel – experience in using conditional formatting
  • Accurate and meticulous – numbers and details are your strength
  • Experienced in payroll processes – ideally you understand the end-to-end process
  • Knowledgeable about NZ employment law – bonus if you already know the basics
  • A strong team player – you collaborate and communicate clearly
  • Professional – you respect confidentiality and handle personal information with care
  • Calm under pressure – you can meet weekly deadlines without stress
  • What You’ll Get

  • Great pay – reward­ing effort, teamwork and reliability
  • Performance bonus – rewarding those who stay the season with strong attendance and high performance
  • A varied role with plenty of challenges
  • Work with people from all over the world
  • Consistent full-time hours for the season
  • Build valuable payroll and compliance experience
  • Supportive team environment where ideas are encouraged
  • Join Us!

    If you enjoy tackling challenges in Excel, have a knack for numbers, and can spot errors others miss, this role is made for you.

    Apply now and spend your summer putting your skills to work in a fast-paced, supportive team environment.
