Payroll & Reporting Specialist
Company Overview
Measured Ability South Africa (MASA) is a leading provider of staffing and recruitment solutions in South Africa. We specialise in temporary, contract, and permanent staffing across various industries.
MASA partners with Clients to provide compliant and flexible staffing solutions. Due to the volume of employees we manage and the variety of client environments we support, HR professionals at MASA gain exposure to a broad range of HR processes and labour relations matters. This environment provides the opportunity to develop deep practical expertise in employment law, employee relations, and HR operations, often beyond what is typically experienced within a traditional single-employer organisation.
We are inviting applications for an internal position within our Westville team for a Payroll & Reporting Specialist, with a strong focus on Payroll Auditing and Reporting within a Temporary Employment Services (TES) environment. This role is ideal for a detail-oriented individual with strong analytical skills, systems understanding, and a solid foundation in payroll processes.
