Payroll services to power your business

Your ADP payroll services questions answered

What is payroll and how does it work?

Payroll can be anything from paying your employees and calculating taxes and deductions, to ensuring compliance obligations are met. Payroll can either be carried out in-house or entrusted to a reputable provider like ADP. If you decide to outsource your payroll, you can opt for partially or fully managed models, depending on your business size and how much control you want to keep.

What do payroll service providers do?

Payroll providers carry out a range of services for companies who don’t wish to run an in-house payroll. These include calculating employees’ pay, making any necessary deductions such as Superannuation and third-party payments, keeping accurate records and automatically populating your employees’ MyGov account. Our payroll software keeps your business compliant to regulations in Australia, New Zealand and global markets, helping you avoid fines and penalties.

What are payroll managed services?

If you choose as a business to hand over every payroll process to a trusted outsourced provider like ADP, these are known as payroll managed services. This ensures your HR, finance and admin teams are freed up from time-consuming work. Now you can stay compliant with regulations in Australia, New Zealand and global markets, including Single Touch Payroll (STP), Payday Filing and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Who needs payroll services?

Is your business struggling with running in-house payroll? Can’t afford the time or expense to recruit, train and retain accounting or HR professionals? You could benefit from outsourced payroll services. You’ll save the costs of an in-house department, and avoid the complexity of staying up to date with ever-changing compliance regulations. Plus, say goodbye to manual errors and potential fines for missing compliance deadlines.
