Frequently Asked Questions


  • What are payroll services?

    Payroll services involve managing employee wage payments, including calculating salaries, handling deductions such as PAYG withholding, and managing superannuation contributions. These services aim to help businesses meet their payroll obligations while keeping records organised.


    Proper payroll management is critical for ensuring employees are paid correctly and on time. Accurate payroll handling is essential for maintaining employee satisfaction and compliance.

  • Who needs payroll services?

    Any business with employees can benefit from payroll services, regardless of size or industry. Payroll services can be particularly useful for businesses that want to save time and reduce errors associated with managing payroll in-house.


    Outsourcing payroll can help businesses focus more on their core operations while remaining compliant with payroll regulations. This may also reduce administrative workload and improve operational efficiency.

  • What are PAYG withholding obligations?

    PAYG withholding is the process of withholding tax from employee wages and paying it directly to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). Employers are required to withhold the correct amount based on the employee’s income and report these amounts regularly.


    Failure to meet PAYG withholding obligations can result in penalties from the ATO. Accurate PAYG reporting is designed to help businesses avoid compliance issues.

  • What is Single Touch Payroll (STP)?

    Single Touch Payroll (STP) is an ATO requirement for employers to report employee payments, including wages, PAYG withholding, and superannuation, directly after each payroll cycle. It aims to help streamline reporting and strives for timely data submission to the ATO.


    STP also reduces the need for year-end payment summaries, as reporting is done in real-time. Regular STP reporting can help maintain accurate and up-to-date payroll records.
