Payroll is the process of paying your employees, including calculating wages, tax withholding (PAYG), superannuation, leave, and entitlements. It must comply with Australian tax and employment laws, and now must be reported to the ATO via Single Touch Payroll (STP).

Incorrect payroll leads to more than just grumpy staff – it can result in legal penalties, back-pay claims, and unnecessary stress. Getting it right ensures your team is paid correctly and on time, your records are in order, and you stay on the right side of Fair Work and the ATO. It also gives employees confidence that their super and tax are handled properly.

We offer payroll support that fits your business – whether you have one employee or a team of 50. At ASA, we understand rural business needs, including seasonal or casual workers, and award interpretation. We can run your payroll for you or train your internal team, making sure everything is accurate and compliant. Our systems integrate with Xero and STP, and our people are always just a phone call away when something changes or you need help.
