This role will need to operate through an Umbrella company and all employer, employee tax and NI will be deducted from the rate.

Our global client is seeking a detail-oriented Payroll Specialist to support a high-profile reconciliation project involving HMRC employee NI undercharges. This contract role offers up to £300 per day (Umbrella) and is ideal for an experienced professional ready to hit the ground running in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
