There is increasing public attention on businesses paying their staff correctly. Recent changes to the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) have significantly increased the penalties for intentional and unintentional underpayment of staff, as well as introduced new criminal offences for "wage theft". These offences can apply to directors and senior managers personally.
Given the increased risks, we provide businesses and organisations with proactive payroll reviews and targeted audits to help:
identify and remediate payroll, leave and superannuation issues early;
provide assurance to owners, directors and senior managers and help mitigate personal liability risk;
prepare a business for sale;
identify and stem unintentional overpayments or other wage leakage;
assist with future regulatory engagement.
We provide strategic payroll diagnostic programs which are scaled appropriately to your business and risk profile. We also provide:
Advice for managing compliance risks;
Implementation support for system and process improvements; and
Project management for large and complex remediation programs.
