Payroll support for Australian payroll teams

“From day one, the whole experience was excellent. The new payroll solution was implemented seamlessly, and we were kept informed throughout the entire process. Engaging with Payroll Experts was one of the best decisions we made.”

Payroll Experts Australia were engaged by Endeavour at short notice to take on delivery responsibility for a critical workforce management project.  The Payroll Experts Australia team quickly established an updated working model to reflect an agile methodology for enhanced ways of working. Within a very short space of time, Payroll Experts Australia reset the project, developed a new milestone schedule, and with the agreement of senior stakeholders set out to execute this new plan.  The Payroll Experts Australia team demonstrated strong leadership skills and resilience, their energy and enthusiasm supported our business through a challenging transition and were successful in the delivery of a project that enhances our Payroll compliance, while delivering a business transition project and navigating a period of rapid change within the business.

“Payroll Experts Australia partnered with us to lead a business critical review of one of our unique business units within the Carlton & United Breweries business division.  Previously working with one of the big four consultants we were specifically looking for a partner that would help us gain a more detailed view of the visibility of the systems, processes and potential risks associated with each entities workforce management practices. Payroll Experts Australia helped us understand the payroll compliance profile for each entity and every venue associated with those entities. They expertly guided us to develop a standard compliant model for rostering, time & attendance, and payroll processes. They didn’t just charge in with cookie-cutter documents and procedures.  Their approach was to deep dive into our entities including comprehensive stakeholder interviews. We were really impressed with the governance model they tailored to us, it was not just a generic document but an approach that we could easily operationalise. We now have a standard framework for governance across the different entities. “One best approach” that provides us with a minimum standard of payroll requirements and measurement of compliance. I highly recommend Payroll Experts Australia. Their involvement expedited the entire process and provided clear, measurable improvements along the way. Brett and the team were also amazing at dealing with change management in sensitive business functions. Their recommendations delivered incremental, practical Payroll compliance assessments that gave us the confidence to move forward.”

“I’ve been very impressed with the deliverables of Payroll Experts. They were asked at very short notice to step in and help us take our challenging project to a successful conclusion…..”

“Recently brought Brett (Payroll Experts Australia CEO)  in to provide strategic advice on a priority statewide IT investment, Brett defined and supported us in the maturity uplift approach in automation…”

Payroll Experts partnered with us to lead a business critical review as part of our preparation for a large organisational change project. Being a lean internal team, we were specifically looking for a partner that would help us gain a more detailed visibility of the systems, processes and potential risks associated with the project planning and execution. Payroll Experts helped us interpret complex enterprise agreement documentation, expertly guiding us through the process.They didn’t just charge in with cookie-cutter documents and procedures. Their approach was to deep dive into our existing set of circumstances including comprehensive stakeholder briefings. This resulted in a context-aware approach and plan that was tailored to our needs. I highly recommend Payroll Experts. Their involvement expedited the entire process and provided clear, measurable improvements along the way. Their recommendations delivered incremental, practical guidance and advice that gave us the confidence to move forward knowing we were set up for success. Our Payroll Experts Project Manager showed genuine investment in the successful delivery of our project beyond what I have experienced with other services in this space. They leant in wherever necessary ensuring that my internal project team was supported in the best possible way, always balancing the project needs with our internal hurdles and challenges ensuring critical deadlines were met.

We were so grateful for the knowledge and guidance provided to us in our recent HRIS Implementation Project. They provided outstanding support to our Test Lead in scoping and tracking the entire Testing process prior to Go Live and became part of our project team in the process. Even a change of personnel during the engagement was a seamless transition. I would have no hesitation recommending the team to support project delivery, on site or remotely. Their knowledge, attitude, flexibility and professionalism is of the highest order.

“I’m delighted to have worked with Payroll Experts Australia on our KFC time and attendance and award interpretation project.  Whilst being meticulous to detail, time and keeping everyone on the right track, Payroll Experts Australia fully understood the practicalities of our industry and made it possible to fulfil the design intent in our working context. I am happy to say that we have now gone live and are fully utilizing the system. Payroll Experts Australia were a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend them for any project management needs you may have”.

“Payroll Experts Australia were brought into our business to support us through a tough transition towards a new time and attendance system while building in a new enterprise agreement.    They proved themselves to be strategic thinkers and planners, demonstrating exceptional leadership skills. Their energy and skillset seemed limitless, supporting our plans though clear and effective actions producing fantastic results.  Their attitude towards the job at hand, their colleagues and stakeholders was beyond reproach. They exude positivity and respect for any situation and there was never a challenge they were unwilling to tackle”.

“The Payroll Experts team’s thorough approach and responsiveness have made a difference, and it has been a pleasure working with professionals who truly understand the complexities of payroll systems. Thank you once again for your excellent support. I look forward to working with you in the future”

“Payroll Experts were very knowledgeable, understood the issues and resolved them quickly. The service was of very high quality, highly responsive and well above expectations. I would definitely recommend them.”

Our third-party payroll provider was not fit for purpose for our Australian business. We were managing this with a large amount of manual intervention and additional pressure on our Australian team. We are now in the starting phases of implementing a new system with a new vendor. Our first meeting was originally to discuss process mapping but we soon learned about PEA’s extensive experience and expertise in identifying appropriate payroll solutions for Australian businesses. PEA was instrumental in supporting our RFP document and we took huge learnings from that. They also were able to shortlist the most appropriate vendors for our needs. The success is demonstrated by the appointment of a new vendor based on PEA’s shortlist. It will result in a new system that is compliant and fit for purpose for the Australian legislative landscape.

I wanted to personally thank and express how impressed I have been with the payroll team especially this week during our ADP transition. The support they have provided our team has been outstanding not to mention their attention to detail and questioning of key issues. Thanks again its greatly appreciated.
