Human Resource Practitioner: Payroll and Administration (Re-Advertisement )

Rent-A-Drum is looking for a precise, deadline-driven, and highly confidential Payroll Practitioner to manage payroll operations with accuracy, compliance, and efficiency. If numbers calm you, deadlines motivate you, and payroll errors keep you up at night — you might be exactly who we need. 

Your Quest 

You will take full ownership of payroll accuracy and compliance across the organisation. Your responsibilities include:

• Processing monthly payroll accurately and on time
• Preparing and validating payroll input (new hires, terminations, increases, deductions, overtime)
• Performing payroll reconciliations before final submission
• Ensuring compliance with PAYE, SSC, medical aid, pension, and other statutory requirements
• Submitting statutory returns and maintaining payroll records
• Managing leave balances and resolving payroll queries professionally
• Preparing payroll journals and monthly payroll reports for Finance
• Using Excel to generate payroll analysis, summaries, and reconciliation reports
• Maintaining strict confidentiality of all payroll information
• Supporting audits with complete and accurate payroll documentation
• Continuously improving payroll processes and internal controls

Your Origin Story

We are looking for someone wired for precision, confidentiality, and accountability:

• Namibian citizen
• Diploma or Degree in Payroll, HR, Finance, or Accounting
• 3–5 years’ experience processing payroll in a medium to large organisation
• Strong knowledge of Namibian payroll legislation and statutory deductions
• Proven experience working on Sage VIP Payroll
• Advanced Excel skills — Pivot Tables, lookups, reconciliations, payroll reporting
• You never miss deadlines and work well under pressure
• You are extremely detail-oriented — figures must balance every time
• You handle confidential information with professionalism and integrity
• You communicate clearly and resolve payroll queries calmly and respectfully

The Rent-A-Drum DNA

This role is for someone who believes in:

• Accuracy over assumptions
• Compliance over shortcuts
• Ownership over blame
• Deadlines over delays
• Professional integrity at all times

If you want a relaxed admin role, this isn’t it.
But if you want to be the person everyone trusts to get payroll right — every time — then you’ll thrive here.
