Prepare payroll inputs for approval, and reconcile payroll outputs against them each cycle. Administer leave, attendance and staff benefits, and escalate recurring absence patterns. Support investigations, disciplinary and grievance processes, and keep the records that make an outcome stand up. Requirements WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR Two to four years in a generalist HR role, preferably in banking, microfinance or another regulated institution. Practical experience of recruitment, payroll input, employee records and running a performance cycle. Working knowledge of the Gambia Labour Act 2023, and of SSHFC and PAYE obligations. HRIS administration experience — SeamlessHR an advantage — and strong Excel. A first degree in human resource management, business administration, psychology, law or a related discipline. CIPD is an advantage. Absolute discretion with confidential information, and the firmness to hold a process when it is inconvenient.
