The Hachette Livre group, the world's third-largest consumer publisher, is a constellation of publishing houses working across varied editorial genres: Literature, Education, Youth, Practical, Tourism, Lifestyle, Partworks, with the aim of informing, cultivating and entertaining. The Group's houses operate autonomously, enabling constantly renewed creativity. The Group is also pursuing a diversification strategy, notably in board games and mobile games. Joining us means working within a team of human scale while being part of a solid group where opportunities for development are numerous. Three words sum up the Group's commitment: diversity, autonomy, responsibility.

Within the Human Resources Department of the Publishing division, we are recruiting a Payroll Administrator on a full-time fixed-term contract - 6 months.

Reporting to the Payroll Manager, you will join a team of 10 payroll administrators and work closely with the various members of the HR department.

Your main responsibilities will include:

· Collecting and processing the information needed to prepare payroll: salaries, absences, variable pay elements, etc.;

· Preparing and checking payroll in compliance with applicable social legislation, collective agreements and contractual provisions;

· Handling employee arrivals, changes of situation and departures, including preparing final settlement statements;

· Carrying out the various DSN checks and handling any anomalies;

· Managing the administrative tasks linked to payroll and keeping employee files up to date;

· Managing absences and monitoring IJSS and provident insurance files;

· Maintaining relations with employees and answering their payroll-related questions.

Desired profile

With a minimum of a Bac +2 qualification, you have at least 7 years of successful experience in a similar role.

We are looking for an experienced, operational person able to work autonomously quickly, while fitting easily into the team's way of working.

Organised and rigorous, you are comfortable with figures and have good interpersonal skills. You also enjoy teamwork.

You master the common functions of Excel (basic formulas, pivot tables, lookup functions such as VLOOKUP) and are comfortable with IT tools.

Knowledge of GXP Link would be appreciated but is not essential: your ability to pick up and adapt quickly to a payroll software package will be key.
