A clear process for every pay run
We agree a payroll calendar, a timesheet approval deadline and who is authorised to approve payments. New starters, rate changes, leave and adjustments are checked before the pay run is finalised. This creates a clear handover between your managers and the payroll team, particularly where staff work across locations or at different rates.
How we can help
- Employee setup and record maintenance
- Approved timesheet processing
- Wages, overtime and allowance calculations
- Payslips and PAYG withholding
- Leave balance administration
- Superannuation calculations and reporting
- STP reporting and year end finalisation
- Termination and contractor payment support
A process that fits your business
Your payroll setup should reflect the applicable employment arrangements. We help configure pay items and reporting categories, with award or agreement questions identified for review rather than treated as a one-size-fits-all rule. Salary sacrifice, deductions, payroll tax and taxable payments reporting can be included where relevant and agreed. Employer payment approvals remain with you.
What to expect from our support
You receive a payroll summary and the information needed to review the run. The accounts are reconciled so wages, withholding and super do not drift away from payroll reports. We also help address employee queries about payslips and maintain a record of approved changes. Payroll services can be coordinated with bookkeeping and BAS support.
Getting started
Tell us about your business structure, accounting software and the work you want help with. We review the information and agree the scope, responsibilities and fee before beginning. Existing accountant relationships can be retained, with a clear handover of the records needed.
During onboarding, we confirm access permissions, document collection and any authority required for lodgements. You keep control of approvals and receive questions where a transaction or decision needs your input.
Questions about payroll
Can you process weekly or fortnightly payroll?
Yes. We agree the pay cycle, approval deadline and information required before work begins.
Do you support casual employees?
Yes. We can work with casual and permanent staff, multiple pay items and approved timesheets. The correct employment terms and classifications must be established.
Can you move payroll into Xero?
We can help plan the transition, review opening balances and set up employees and pay items. A migration should be reconciled before the first live pay run.
