Payroll compliance in Australia is changing fast, and employers need to stay ahead.
With tighter ATO scrutiny, Fair Work requirements, STP reporting, and the move towards pay day super, payroll is now a core compliance function, not just an admin task.
For small businesses, even minor errors in wages, superannuation, leave loading, or reporting can lead to penalties, employee disputes, and cash flow issues. If your payroll process has not been reviewed recently, there is a real risk that outdated settings or incorrect award interpretations are putting your business in the firing line.
Key areas to review include:
• Correct wage and award calculations
• Super guarantee contributions and deadlines
• STP reporting accuracy
• Leave entitlements and penalty rates
• Payroll reconciliation and record keeping
The proposed pay day super changes will make timing even more important, so now is the time to strengthen your systems and controls.
Read our latest blog to understand what these changes mean for your business and how to stay compliant.
