People notice when pay is wrong.

A missed shift or an old rate costs more than the money. It costs trust. So every pay run is checked against timesheets and the last pay before it goes anywhere.

Then it comes to you to approve. Nothing is paid until you say so.

Every pay run

The whole pay run, handled.

What’s included, and how often, depends on the package we agree. This is the full service.

  • Pays from timesheets.

    Weekly, fortnightly or monthly, from approved timesheets in Deputy or your rostering app.

  • Single Touch Payroll.

    Every pay reported to the ATO as it happens, and finalised at year end.

  • Super, with every pay.

    Calculated on every pay run and paid on time under payday super, which started on 1 July 2026.

  • Leave, tracked.

    Annual and personal leave balances kept current, so payouts are right.

  • Long service leave.

    Including ACT portable long service leave returns, across construction, cleaning, community and security.

  • New starters, set up properly.

    Tax file declarations, super choice and details collected before the first pay.

Checked before it’s paid.

Odd hours, missing super, a rate that changed last month. We look for them on every run, before pay day.

How it works

From first call to first pay run.

  1. Set up.

    We confirm your employees, pay rates and super details, and connect your timesheets.

  2. Run.

    Each pay run is prepared from approved timesheets and checked line by line.

  3. Approve.

    You get a summary to approve. Then pays, payslips, STP and super go out.

Works with what you run.

  • Xero Payroll
  • Employment Hero
  • Deputy

Questions.

Which payroll systems do you use?

Xero Payroll, Employment Hero and Deputy. Timesheets come from Deputy or the rostering app you already use.

How do we approve a pay run?

We send you a summary before anything is paid. You approve it, and it goes out.

Do you handle STP finalisation?

Yes. At the end of the financial year we finalise Single Touch Payroll, so your team’s income statements are ready for tax time.

Can you do long service leave?

Yes, including ACT portable long service leave returns for construction, contract cleaning, community sector and security businesses.

What does it cost?

A fixed fee, agreed before we start, once we know your team and pay cycle. Your package, and exactly what it includes, is set out in writing before we start.
