Australia’s employer obligations and industrial relations environment is one of the most challenging in the world, with constant changes in superannuation, tax, and award interpretation.
The Fair Work Act 2009, together with more than 120 Modern Awards, mandate industry and role specific minimum pay, penalty, overtime, and shift rates, as well as a myriad of allowances, break requirements, rostering obligations, and leave accrual rules. All of which a compliant organisation needs to understand and correctly apply.
Given the complexity, mistakes can easily be made. In addition to an ever-increasing focus on compliance activity by the Fair Work Ombudsman and the Australian Tax Office (ATO), and increased press attention, in some states there are now ‘wage theft’ laws enacted and ready to be enforced.
It's no surprise then that many organisations find it challenging to stay up to date on changes and proactively redevelop processes and systems to ensure correct employee pay. Our payroll advisory team use their considerable experience to allow businesses to excel in Australia's complex regulatory landscape.
Our specialists understand the challenges that Australia’s industrial relations landscape and employment tax environment presents to employers. Our multi-disciplinary payroll advisory team can help you navigate these complexities and manage your risks efficiently.
Our payroll advisory practice is made up of tax, risk, and payroll operations professionals, supported by our broader accounting, forensic, and technology advisory teams. The broad composition of our practice allows us to provide bespoke end-to-end payroll advisory solutions to our clients.
