Features / Payroll & Super
Run pay. Pay super. Both in one place, both on the same clock.
Every pay run generates its matching super obligation the moment it finalises. The Payroll Overview tells you what needs your attention; the Super Overview reconciles what was reported to the ATO against what actually reached each employee's fund. Australian payroll and super, handled as one thing because they are one thing.

Payroll and super, handled as one thing.
The Payroll Overview.
Open the Payroll module and the first thing you see is a single screen that answers one question: what needs my attention? Four stat cards track compliance issues, super due, Payday Super readiness, and leave liability. A next-pay-run issues list shows exactly what would go wrong if you ran pay today. A year-to-date earnings table lists every employee with their gross, tax, super, and net for the financial year. When everything is green, you close the tab. When something is amber or red, you click straight into it. Calm on the home screen. Loud on the thing that needs you.
The three-step pay run.
Choose the pay period and the employees (timesheets from Deputy or Tanda flow in automatically). Review the pre-calculated numbers — gross, tax, super, allowances, deductions, net. Finalise. Payslips go to employees, the pay event goes to the ATO in real time, the journal posts to your books, and the matching super payment stages for the national network.
Self-service onboarding for new hires.
Enter a new hire's name and email, click Send Invite, done. They fill in their own details — personal, tax, super, bank, emergency contact — across five short sections with every field validated as they type. You review once and they are ready for their first pay run. No printed TFN declarations. No super-choice forms coming back three weeks late. No re-keying.
The Super Overview.
Every super payment is tracked from obligation to fund. The Super Overview shows five numbers across the top — what was reported to the ATO, what was paid to funds, what is outstanding on-time, what is overdue, and what is accruing in the current pay cycle. Below, a per-employee table reconciles what was reported against what arrived — with rejections, overdue amounts, and days-overdue surfaced in red. Payday Super readiness is a named stat card: the platform has always worked per-pay-run, so the 1 July 2026 rule change is not a migration project. Red means overdue. Green means done. The screen physically points at the problem.
