An independent, line-by-line audit of your payroll against the award, so you know your real position and have a documented plan to put anything right.
Every audit follows the same three phases, whether we are testing a single classification in a payroll audit, or reconstructing six years of pay across an entire workforce in a remediation. We agree the scope, document how you are rostering and engaging staff, and any assumptions in writing before a single calculation is run. We then work line by line against the instrument that applies to your people. We finish by sitting with you and walking through what we found, so you understand the position. If areas of non-compliance or underpayments are identified, we then work with you to remediate impacted staff and implement safeguards to ensure your obligations are met moving forward.
We confirm the scope, the objectives and the instruments that apply, then gather the contracts, payslips, and time records the work depends on. Every assumption is documented and confirmed with your stakeholders before any calculation begins.
Rates, allowances, penalties and overtime are analysed against the instrument that applies, with the interaction between rules tested rather than assumed. Exposure is identified and quantified by year, so you can see how it accumulated.
You receive a written report covering every area assessed, and a remediation roadmap ordered by priority. We then sit with you and talk it through, and stay involved through the corrective steps that follow.
When employers come to us looking for HR support, we hear the same frustration. A large firm feels like the safe choice at the start, until you become a file number, passed between people who read your history for the first time each time you call. The answer you need takes too long, and when it arrives it is far too general and doesn't apply to your organisation.
Effective HR is built to provide deep HR and IR expertise coupled with bespoke, hands-on support. You engage with the same handful of people, led by one key consultant who knows exactly how your organisation operates. You receive documentation that is genuinely tailored to you, not a template with your name pasted on top.
When an employee issue arises, you know exactly who to call, and they know the history immediately because they were part of it.
You are not required to call a contact centre and explain the history each time. The same consultant and the same small team support your organisation, so the person who answers already knows your rosters, your award and what happened last time.
Payroll questions, system rebuilds, and Fair Work matters are all covered in-house across our four areas of practice. Your consultant brings the right specialist in. You keep dealing with the people you already know.
Your team knows your organisation, award, rosters, challenges, and goals. As a result, we ensure that each piece of advice, and the documentation supporting it, is crafted specifically for you.
Tell us what you are dealing with and a consultant who does this work daily will come back to you. No obligation, and no sales sequence.
