People Delivery Administrator Job Opportunity
Shoprite Group is inviting suitably qualified and experienced candidates to apply for a People Delivery Administrator position in Kempton Park, Gauteng. This is an excellent opportunity for an organized and detail-focused HR administration professional who has strong payroll experience and is comfortable working with large volumes of employee information.
The successful candidate will form part of the people administration function and will play an important role in ensuring that payroll-related information is captured, checked, maintained, and processed accurately. Because the position involves strict deadlines and a large employee complement, applicants should be highly organized, numerate, dependable, and able to maintain accuracy while working under pressure.
About the Position
The People Delivery Administrator will primarily support payroll administration and related employee record-keeping activities. The role requires someone who can work confidently with payroll information, identify inconsistencies, maintain accurate records, and ensure that supporting documentation is properly handled.
You may be required to work with employee attendance and clocking information, prepare payroll-related spreadsheets, review data for errors, and assist with resolving discrepancies before information is finalized.
This role would suit an individual who enjoys working with numbers and administrative processes and who understands the importance of confidentiality, accuracy, and meeting payroll deadlines.
Key Responsibilities
As a People Delivery Administrator, your responsibilities may include:
- Collecting payroll-related information and ensuring that relevant attendance and clocking data is available for processing.
- Reviewing employee information and payroll data to identify possible errors, inconsistencies, or discrepancies.
- Investigating discrepancies and taking the necessary steps to have them corrected.
- Capturing and updating employee payroll information across relevant systems and records.
- Maintaining both electronic and physical documentation in an accurate and organized manner.
- Preparing, updating, and maintaining payroll reports and spreadsheets.
- Ensuring that required documentation is completed correctly and stored according to established administrative procedures.
- Providing general administrative support to the people or HR function when required.
- Managing competing administrative tasks while ensuring important deadlines are consistently achieved.
- Working carefully with confidential employee and payroll information.
- Supporting the smooth operation of payroll administration for a substantial workforce.
Minimum Requirements
Applicants interested in this opportunity should meet the following essential requirements:
- A Grade 12 certificate or equivalent qualification.
- Extensive experience in payroll administration.
- Experience working with weekly payroll processes would be beneficial.
- Demonstrated experience handling payroll administration for a large number of employees.
- Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word.
- Ability to create, manage, and consolidate spreadsheets effectively.
- Strong numerical and analytical abilities.
- Excellent attention to detail and accuracy.
- Good written and verbal communication skills.

- Previous experience within the retail sector.
- Strong overall computer literacy.
- The ability to learn new systems, processes, and procedures quickly.
- Flexibility when priorities, processes, or systems change.
Skills That Will Help You Succeed
The ideal candidate should be someone who pays close attention to detail and takes pride in producing accurate work. Payroll administration requires consistency because even a small data-entry or calculation error can affect employees.
Strong Excel skills are particularly valuable because the role involves working with spreadsheets, employee information, reports, and payroll-related data. Candidates should also be comfortable investigating problems rather than simply identifying them.
Time management is another important requirement. The successful applicant must be able to organize daily responsibilities, prioritize urgent payroll matters, and complete assigned work within established deadlines.
Why Consider This Opportunity?
Joining the Shoprite Group can provide an opportunity to build or strengthen your career within a large South African organization. This position is particularly suited to HR and payroll professionals who want to use their administrative, numerical, and data-management skills in a structured working environment.
