Overview

Are you looking to grow your career in both Payroll and HR with a well known hospitality group that values its people?

The Mercantile Group, one of Irelands leading hospitality groups, is seeking a HR Assistant & Payroll Administrator to join our head office team in Dublin. This is a fantastic opportunity to develop your skills in a dual role where you'll manage weekly payroll and support the HR function across a group of 500 employees and 8 iconic venues, including Café en Seine, Whelans, The George, NoLIta, Opium, Pichet, and The Mercantile Hotel.

You'll be working closely with and reporting to the HR Manager, as part of a small, hands on team of two.

About The Role

This is a dual role with structured payroll responsibilities and varied HR support duties throughout the week.

Payroll Responsibilities (Monday-Wednesday Focus)
  • Collecting and verifying weekly timesheets and rosters from venue managers using Bizimply.
  • Ensuring compliance with working hours, breaks, and wage agreements.
  • Processing payroll each week in Sage Payroll.
  • Managing employee payroll records: setting up new starters, processing leavers, and updating pay details.
  • Reconciling payroll reports and providing weekly reports to Finance.
  • Responding to employee payroll queries promptly and professionally.
  • Ensuring full compliance with Revenue regulations, GDPR, and employment law.

You'll work independently on payroll, with the support of the HR Manager where needed.

HR Responsibilities (Wednesday-Friday Focus)

After payroll is complete, you'll assist the HR Manager in supporting employees and maintaining HR processes across the business. Duties include:

  • Assisting with employee queries on policies, entitlements, and general HR matters.
  • Supporting recruitment admin (scheduling interviews, reference checks, onboarding documents).
  • Helping with training coordination, internal communications, and employee engagement.
  • Maintaining up-to-date digital and physical personnel files.
  • Supporting compliance with company policies, employment legislation, and audit readiness.
  • Assisting with reporting

This is a great opportunity to gain exposure to a wide range of generalist HR tasks.

Who This Role Would Suit

  • Has strong payroll experience and wants to expand into HR.
  • Thrives in a hospitality or high-volume, fast-paced setting.
  • Is detail-oriented, organised, and proactive.
  • Enjoys working with people and being part of a small, close-knit team.
  • Is comfortable managing confidential information with discretion.
Key Requirements
  • Minimum 1 years experience running payroll (weekly or monthly).
  • Proficient in Sage Payroll, Microsoft Excel, and Bizimply or similar timekeeping systems.
  • Understanding of Irish employment law, payroll tax rules, and statutory entitlements.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Ability to work independently, manage deadlines, and multitask.
Benefits
  • Ongoing training and development in payroll and HR
  • Staff discount card for all Mercantile Group venues
  • €99 annual roaming membership with Flyefit
  • EAP with free counselling and wellbeing mobile app
  • TaxSaver commuter scheme
  • Be part of a people-first company with a great team atmosphere
