Who this is for

  • You have staff on an award and you are not certain the rates are right
  • Your STP reporting is out of step with what you have actually paid
  • Superannuation has been missed, underpaid or lodged late

Underpayment is usually an accident

Almost nobody sets out to underpay staff. It happens through misread award classifications, missed penalty rates, allowances nobody knew existed, or a payroll template that was set up once and never revisited. The cost is the same either way.

Awards are genuinely complicated

Broken shifts, sleepovers, overtime thresholds, casual loading interaction, allowances and public holiday rates. The SCHADS award alone catches out experienced operators constantly. We interpret the award against your actual roster, not a generic template.

Superannuation is now unforgiving

Late super is not deductible and attracts the superannuation guarantee charge. Catching a shortfall early and correcting it voluntarily is dramatically cheaper than having it found.

We fix it quietly and properly

A review, a clear schedule of what was underpaid and to whom, a correction plan, and a payroll system rebuilt so it does not recur.

Common questions

What does a payroll review involve?

We take your award, your roster and your last 12 months of pay runs, and check what was paid against what was owed. You get a written schedule showing any gaps by employee.

What if we have underpaid someone?

You correct it. Voluntary rectification is treated far better than a Fair Work finding, and we will help you calculate and process the back-pay properly.

Do you handle SCHADS?

Yes — this is a specialty, particularly for NDIS and care providers where broken shifts and sleepovers are routine.

Can you take over payroll afterwards?

Yes, and most clients do. Fixing it once matters less than never having the problem again.
