## About this task

This education foundation in refugee support (51–200 employees) is looking for a manager Payroll Specialist for a single piece of work with a fixed scope and a fixed price. Moves payroll to a new provider with a parallel run.

The company has a deadline, no one free to own it, and wants a person who has done the same job before. It is a nonprofit, so budgets are tight and grant reporting dates are fixed.

The team sits in Birmingham. Everything can be done remotely; an occasional visit is welcome and never required for the first month. Most people do this on weekday evenings; replies inside the working day are not expected. About 2 hours a week should overlap with the team's day (UK time).

## What you deliver

- Migrate 60 employees to a new payroll provider with opening balances and a parallel run.

- The finished deliverable in the agreed file format, with sources and assumptions listed

- A final note stating what was checked and what was left out of scope

- One round of edits after the company's review is included

## How the work runs

- Day 1: kickoff call and access to the files

- Days 2 to 9: the work, with questions answered the same day

- Last day: delivery and a short walkthrough

**Duration:** about 10 working days. Accepted when the company contact confirms the deliverable against the written checklist. One round of edits is included.

## Tools

ADP Gusto Rippling

## Who fits

- 7-12 years of hands-on work as a Payroll Specialist, or the equivalent mix of roles

- Comfortable working in ADP, Gusto and Rippling

- Your own work history stays private; the company sees a first name, your field and a rate

### Nice to have

- A habit of asking one clarifying question early rather than five late

- Experience in a similar industry

## Not included

- Work outside the scope written in the brief; extra items are quoted separately

- Managing other contractors or employees

- On-call availability outside the agreed window

## How you get paid

- The company prepays Deftridge before your first hour, so payment does not depend on a late invoice.

- Deftridge pays you in GBP after the company confirms the hours or the deliverable. The payment date is written in your task agreement.

- You work as an independent contractor: you report your own income, and your recruiter sends the statements your accountant needs.

- You never chase the company. Questions about money go to Deftridge.
