Keep your business compliant

Payroll software helps businesses stay compliant by automating complex pay rules and reporting obligations, including interpreting modern awards, submitting STP reports and superannuation data to the ATO, applying minimum wage increases, and streamlining end-of-financial-year (EOFY) processes. This reduces manual errors and helps payroll align with current regulations.

  • Award interpretation: Payroll compliance software automates complex award conditions, allowing businesses to set pay rules based on specific awards, roles, and working arrangements. This allows wages, penalties, allowances, and entitlements to be calculated accurately with every pay run.
  • STP & superannuation: The system simplifies compliance by automatically reporting payroll data, including employee earnings, PAYG withholding, and super contributions, to the ATO through STP-enabled reporting. This reduces manual administration and improves accuracy.
  • Minimum wage increases: Payroll platforms help businesses stay aligned with Fair Work updates by applying minimum wage increases across relevant awards, so new pay rates are implemented on time, and the risk of underpayment is reduced.
  • EOFY compliance: Payroll software supports end-of-financial-year requirements by automating payroll updates and enabling accurate reporting. This reduces manual work during the EOFY period and helps payroll records finalise correctly while meeting ATO obligations.

Got burning questions? We’ve got answers

Payroll software is a digital platform that automates the process of paying employees accurately and on time. It handles wage calculations, PAYG withholding, superannuation contributions, leave entitlements, and regulatory reporting, replacing manual processes that are time-consuming and prone to error. Powered by foundU, our payroll software is built specifically for Australian businesses, with award interpretation, STP Phase 2 reporting, and superannuation management built in.

Payroll software is crucial for helping achieve accuracy, efficiency, and compliance in your business. It significantly reduces the risk of human error in calculating pay and taxes, saving you time and money. It also helps you stay on top of complex regulations issued by bodies such as the Australian Tax Office, so that your employees are always paid correctly and on time.

The consequences of payroll errors in Australia can be significant. Underpayment of wages – even unintentional – can result in back-pay obligations, Fair Work Act penalties, and reputational damage if cases become public. Errors in superannuation calculations can attract ATO penalties and interest charges. Incorrect STP reporting creates compliance risk with the Australian Tax Office. foundU’s automated calculations and built-in award interpretation significantly reduce the likelihood of these errors occurring in the first place.

While payroll software isn’t legally mandatory, it’s strongly recommended for any business with employees in Australia. Manually managing payroll is time-consuming and prone to errors that can lead to significant compliance issues. A dedicated system is set up for accurate tax calculations, proper handling of superannuation details, and correct pay rates, protecting both your business and your staff.

Australian businesses operate within some of the most complex employment and payroll regulations in the world. Using a dedicated payroll solution can help simplify compliance and streamline payroll management. Key benefits include:

  • Stay compliant: automatically keep up to date with Australian Tax Office (ATO) requirements, modern awards, and superannuation obligations.
  • Save time: automate repetitive payroll tasks such as pay calculations and report generation, freeing up time for payroll and HR teams.
  • Improve accuracy: reduce the risk of costly mistakes in manual data entry for employee information, pay rates, and deductions.
  • Empower employees: provide employees with access to their payroll app, allowing them to view payslips and update personal details.
  • Share your data: connect accounting and business software for a more seamless, efficient financial workflow.

Automated payroll processes work by connecting various parts of your business into one system. Our unique employee app, powered by foundU, captures employee hours, leave requests and approvals, and all this real-time data flows directly into the payroll engine. The software then automatically performs tax calculations and works out the final pay for each employee based on their stored employee details and pay rates. All you need is an internet connection to generate pay slips in a few easy clicks.

Single Touch Payroll (STP) is an ATO initiative that changes how employers report their payroll information. STP-enabled software automatically sends employees’ salary, wage, PAYG withholding, and superannuation information to the Australian Tax Office each time you run payroll. This eliminates the need to compile and lodge payment summaries or group certificates at the end of the financial year.

Yes, all employers in Australia are now required to use Single Touch Payroll (STP) reporting. This applies to businesses of all sizes, from those with hundreds of employees to those with just one.

With the right software, processing payroll with STP is very straightforward. The reporting happens automatically in the background each time you complete a pay run. The system sends the required information directly to the ATO, helping you meet your reporting obligations without adding extra steps to your workflow.

Payday super is new legislation that will require Australian employers to pay superannuation contributions on the same day as salary, rather than quarterly. It’s currently scheduled to take effect from 1 July 2026. For businesses that currently pay super quarterly, this represents a significant change to cash flow planning and payroll processes. Our payroll app is built to support payday super, so businesses using the platform will not need to overhaul their systems when the obligation takes effect. It’s worth reviewing your current super payment schedule now to understand the impact on your business before the deadline.

Powered by foundU, our payroll software is built specifically for the complexities of Australian regulations. It improves payroll compliance by:

  • Automatically interpreting modern awards and enterprise agreements.
  • Keeping up to date with changes to tax laws and superannuation requirements.
  • Integrating STP reporting for seamless communication with the ATO.
  • Accurately calculating employees’ tax and superannuation based on the latest rules.

Currently, employers must pay superannuation contributions for eligible employees at least four times a year, by the quarterly due dates. However, legislation is going to change, requiring super to be paid on the same day as salary (payday super) starting from 1 July 2026.

Yes, under the Superannuation Guarantee (SG) legislation, employers must pay superannuation contributions for all eligible employees. This is a mandatory requirement to help employees save for retirement.
