Payroll

Melbourne Payroll Services - Wages, Super and Fair Work Done Right

Payroll is where small compliance gaps become big back-pay bills. We run your pay cycle end to end: award rates, superannuation, Single Touch Payroll and leave, all accurate and on time, every time.

Sound familiar?

  • “I think payroll is right” isn’t the same as knowing it is
  • Award rates and allowances feel like a moving target
  • Super deadlines sneak up every quarter
  • STP Phase 2 reporting was set up in a hurry - and it shows

All fixable. Most of it faster than you’d think.

What our payroll service covers

End-to-end pay runs

Wages, allowances, penalties and deductions processed on your cycle, whether weekly, fortnightly or monthly, with payslips delivered on time.

Superannuation

Super guarantee calculated correctly and lodged on schedule, so you never wear the (non-deductible) super guarantee charge.

Single Touch Payroll

STP Phase 2 reporting configured properly and lodged every pay event, with year-end finalisation handled for you.

Award and Fair Work support

Pay rates checked against the relevant modern award, leave accruals set up correctly, and records kept the way Fair Work expects.

New starters and exits

Onboarding, tax file declarations, super choice and terminations, including final pays and unused leave, processed correctly.

Common questions

What is STP Phase 2 and am I compliant?

Single Touch Payroll Phase 2 expanded what you must report to the ATO each pay run - including income types and detailed earnings breakdowns. Many files were migrated in a rush and are misreporting quietly. We audit your setup and fix it.

Can you check we’re paying the right award rates?

Yes. We review your classifications and rates against the relevant modern award and flag gaps. For complex industrial relations questions we’ll tell you plainly when a workplace lawyer is the right next step.

What happens if super is paid late?

Late super triggers the superannuation guarantee charge - it’s not tax-deductible and comes with admin fees and interest. Our payroll calendar is built so super is lodged well inside the deadline every quarter.

How is outsourced payroll priced?

We charge by the hour, billed in five-minute increments. A payroll run in experienced hands is quick and clean: you’re paying a Registered BAS Agent to get wages, super and STP right the first time, not a junior learning on your file, so the hours stay low and the costly mistakes stay away. After a free chat we give you a realistic estimate based on employee numbers and pay frequency.
