Payroll Standard® Unveils Groundbreaking Updates to Revolutionise Payroll Management

At Payroll Standard®, our commitment to delivering an innovative, reliable, and user-centric payroll-support solution focused on Award / Employment Agreement interpretation has driven us to redefine payroll industry benchmarks. We are thrilled to announce a suite of transformative updates to our Payroll Standard® platform, rolling out in May 2025.

Designed to empower businesses, streamline operations, and foster seamless collaboration, these enhancements solidify Payroll Standard® as an indispensable tool for organisations of all sizes, making it an absolute must-have in today’s dynamic payroll and HR landscape.

Collaborative Sticky Notes: A New Era of Teamwork

Collaboration is at the heart of modern payroll management, and our new Sticky Notes feature marks a significant step forward. Users can now attach quick comments directly to Payroll Standard® Payflows, facilitating real-time communication without altering the core process. This feature is the foundation of a broader suite of collaborative tools we’re developing, designed to enable Clients and Payroll Experts to work together seamlessly. 

Collaborative Sticky Notes are integrated with PAY-i which enables it to extract contextual information directly from real-time comments within PayFlows. This enhancement enables PAY-i to provide more nuanced and personalized Award Interpretations, furthering the mission "to revolutionise Employment Award and Agreement interpretations". "No-Code" Award Interpretation simplifies Awards and Agreement interpretation processes for businesses. Expect more advancements in this space as we continue to innovate.

Pioneering PAY-i with Deep Reasoning Models

Innovation is in our DNA, and we’re thrilled to share that we’ve commenced enhancing PAY-i to utilise deep reasoning models. This enhancement delivers much more sophisticated and accurate Award Interpretations. This empowers PAY-i to extract context from diverse elements, such as attached notes or documents, beyond the “Gherkin framework” in Payroll Standard® Payflows.

This forward-thinking approach will unlock smarter and more intuitive payroll processes, positioning Payroll Standard® as a leader in intelligent payroll and organisational support solutions.

Refining the Parent/Child Experience: A Defining Feature

The Parent/Child experience has become a hallmark of Payroll Standard®’s platform, and we’re committed to making it even better. Our team continues to squash bugs and introduce refinements, ensuring this feature delivers unparalleled flexibility and ease of use. These improvements reinforce Payroll Standard®’s position as a game-changer in business.

Enhanced Payroll Standard® Management Tools: Precision and Protection

Our latest release polishes the Payroll Standard® management suite, introducing robust features to prevent lost work and ensure operational efficiency. We’ve integrated intelligent prompts and safety checks to guarantee that draft work is saved promptly, minimising disruptions and safeguarding your progress. These improvements reflect our dedication to providing a seamless user experience, allowing you to focus on what matters most—running your business.
