Job Description

When people hear the name Meyer Food Co, most haven’t heard of us, and that’s fine. We’re not a brand in the spotlight, but we’re behind some of the biggest names in Australia. Our products reach major retailers, clubs, pubs, national fast-food chains, aged-care providers and hospitals right across the country.

Our business is all about value-added food. Using a unique cooking and packaging process, we take raw ingredients and turn them into slow-cooked, nutritious, great-tasting meals. Last year alone, we produced enough meat to feed every person in Australia three times over, chances are you’ve eaten our products plenty of times without even realising!

Payroll Officer

We have a rare opportunity for a Payroll Officer. This is a position where your presence will be valued, and your contributions genuinely appreciated.

As part of our fun and inclusive administration team, you’ll play a key role in delivering a positive employee experience by ensuring accurate and timely weekly pay runs. Your strengths in detail, accuracy, and double-checking will help you set high standards in payroll processing. This role also offers the chance to drive process improvements, maintain compliance, and build trust across the business. It comes with stability, a supportive environment, and a great location in Western Sydney (Kings Park).

While this role makes a long-term impact, here’s a snapshot of your day-to-day tasks:

• On Monday, work from home to process end-to-end weekly payroll for approx. 220 staff
• Interpret the Meat Industry Award
• Manage payroll reconciliations, reporting, and compliance
• Handle payroll queries with accurate, timely responses
• Support continuous improvement and system optimisation projects
• Continue to upskill and train an Accounts team member to assist with payroll to help cover your leave
• Assist the Accounts Team with preparing and loading outgoing payment runs if Accounts team is on leave
• Administer superannuation, PAYG, payroll tax, novated leases, and child support
• Support HR with reporting, award interpretation, onboarding data, and KPI metrics
• Some use SAP BYD for various business processes (training provided)
• Liaise with HR, Finance, and other departments as needed

The kind of person who will thrive here:

You enjoy owning the payroll processes end-to-end, and communicate clearly with colleagues across the business. You’re caring and respectful, building trust with the people you work with, and you enjoy being part of a team where fun and banter are welcomed. Experience with Employment Hero is essential. What matters most is reliability, attention to detail, and a willingness to contribute positively to a collaborative and supportive team.

Why you’ll love working here:

Sure, we’re a high-growth, industry leader with premium products and a strong reputation, but that’s not the only reason people love working here.

• We keep it fun. Banter is part of the culture, and our Friday cook-off challenge is legendary
• We back our people with ongoing learning and support, because we know careers grow when people do.
• You’ll be part of a business that’s leading the industry and growing fast, meaning there’s always something new to sink your teeth into.
• And yes, you’ll have access to heavily discounted premium meat products (your BBQ game will never be the same).
• Above all, we recognise contributions and value the person behind the work.

NOTE: This is a permanent part time role, 8 hrs per day Monday to Thursday, however we are open suggestions regarding working hours and times to something that better suits your needs.

If you’re ready to take ownership of payroll, keep things running smoothly, and be part of a supportive, growing team, Meyer Food Co. is the place for you.
