Outsourcing Your Payroll? Here's What You Can Expect

Ready to outsource your payroll? Nice one — you’ve just made things a whole lot simpler for your business and team. Running a business is definitely a wild ride, juggling customers, cash flow, marketing, employees and everything in between. That's why so many businesses turn to us to manage their payroll - it makes life so much easier. 

But, you're probably wondering what you can expect from outsourced payroll - so let's take a closer look. 

Outsourced Payroll with Australian Payroll Solutions

Payroll can be complex and ever-changing, but outsourcing to APS means experts handle everything, from your timesheets and pay calculations to super contributions and compliance with Single Touch Payroll. No stress, just professional, hassle-free payroll management.

What we actually do

Here's what happens when you outsource your payroll to APS:

• Full payroll processing: We take your approved timesheets and process every pay run with precision and attention to detail. This includes all calculations for wages, overtime, leave loading, deductions, and allowances.

• Superannuation management: We ensure super contributions are calculated correctly and paid on time.

• Automated banking files: We generate ABA files so your bank uploads payments, saving you manual effort.

• Payslips and reporting: Employee pay advice is uploaded to individual profiles, and reports are sent directly to your Accounts Managers. You get full transparency with customised reports, from Payment Summaries to Leave Liabilities and Tax Reports.

• Adjustments and corrections: We manage reversals and adjustments, keeping everything accurate and compliant.

• Compliance and Single Touch Payroll: We handle all your STP obligations so you meet government requirements.

• Support and queries: From award interpretation to Fair Work enquiries, we provide ongoing support, including managing CPI increases, tax table updates, and ATO audits.

• Integration with leading software: We work with industry-leading platforms like Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks, and Humanforce, syncing your payroll data across your accounting and workforce management systems.

The benefits of payroll outsourcing

More time growing your business:

Spend more time working on and growing your business rather than your in-house payroll. Imagine handing off the timesheets, tax calculations, payslips, and reports to a team that makes it all happen smoothly and on time. 

Optimised cost management: 

While it might seem like doing your own payroll will save you money - have you factored in the software, licenses and training? These hidden expenses add up. Payroll outsourcing cuts through that overhead. You pay for the service, not for trial and error, staff turnover, or compliance slip-ups. It’s a streamlined, cost-effective solution that makes sense for all business sizes.

Reliable payroll services: 

Mistakes happen, but when a payroll error affects your employees' pay or superannuation, it can quickly turn into a problem - resulting in unhappy staff, legal trouble or even fines. At Australian Payroll Solutions, our experienced payroll team uses advanced software combined with thorough checks to reduce errors. 

Flexible, scalable payroll systems:

Outsourced payroll systems offer flexibility, adapting to your needs, whether it's during quieter times or when things get a bit hectic. If you’re growing fast or scaling back, your payroll service flexes with you — no need to hire extra payroll staff or overwork your team.

A secure payroll service:

Professional payroll providers, like ASP, invest heavily in security, encryption, secure servers, and regular audits — to protect your data from breaches. Outsourcing gives you peace of mind that your information is protected.

Efficient employee service portals:

Instead of getting bombarded with payslip requests or tax questions, let an outsourced payroll team spend the time and your employees can access a self-service portal where they can access pay info, request leave and view tax documentation. 

When outsourcing your payroll you'll receive:

• Better record-keeping for audits

• Compliant payroll services

• Cutting-edge payroll technology
