Suspect your employees have been paid incorrectly? Payroll Standard helps you establish who’s affected, what they’re owed and what needs to change.
Payroll Standard combines independent recalculation with specialist support to investigate historical payments and work through the findings. It checks actual pay against a documented interpretation of your Awards and Enterprise Agreements, reviewed and agreed by your business.
An employee queries a penalty rate. An allowance looks wrong. A system change reveals a problem that may have been running for years.
Now you need to work out how far it reaches, and your payroll team still has the next pay run to deliver.
Find where the issue appears across employees and pay periods.
Recalculate against the relevant rules, rates and employee circumstances.
Work with remediation specialists to validate the findings and plan the corrections.
We help your team agree and document how employees should have been paid. PAY-Check turns those rules into an independent calculation engine, then compares the results with your historical payroll.
Award and EA obligations, documented and approved by your business.
Time worked, actual payments and employee changes during the review period.
Recalculates pay using the relevant historical rules and rates.
Underpayment and overpayment differences by employee, pay period and pay code.
Calculation results in minutes, once your rules and data are ready.
Load the records, see where pay differs and follow each difference to the people and pay periods behind it.
Your payroll team still has people to pay. Remediation specialists work alongside them to prepare the review, investigate discrepancies and help determine the response.
We agree the responsibilities upfront, so your team knows what it needs to contribute and where support comes in.
Bring differences in interpretation into the open, agree the rules for the review and prepare the historical records.
HR, IR, legal and payroll work through differing interpretations and approve the rules used for the review.
Run the prepared data through PAY-Check and identify where actual payments differ.
Check exceptions, validate the findings and rerun calculations as questions are resolved.
Determine the back-payment response and the system, process and communication work required.
The rules and decisions behind the remediation stay with your business, even when people change roles or leave. Your team can review and approve updates, then use the maintained Payflow to support configuration, testing and answers to pay questions.
Once your rules and historical data are prepared, PAY-Check can produce calculation results in minutes. Processing time depends on the dataset and review.
The full engagement also includes data preparation, interpretation review and investigation. Its timing depends on your instruments, historical changes, record quality and the findings that need to be resolved. Fast recalculation helps the team review and rerun results as that work progresses.
Typically, time records, detailed pay data, employee lists and dated changes affecting pay, such as classifications and employment arrangements. Your team also helps explain historical practices and resolve questions about the records.
If the relevant instruments are not already mapped in Payroll Standard, that work forms part of setup. The delivery plan establishes your team’s responsibilities alongside the specialist support available.
Your stakeholders review and approve the interpretation documented in your Payflow. PAY-Check’s calculation engine is generated from that rule set, with remediation specialists investigating the results and validating what needs correcting.
Your team and remediation advisers identify gaps and inconsistencies during preparation, assess their significance and determine how they should be addressed before relying on the results.
PAY-Check supports data import and mapping. Preparing reliable records remains an important part of the engagement.
The scope establishes who will validate the amounts, provide any required specialist advice, process payments, communicate with employees and implement corrective changes. These activities may involve your internal teams, existing advisers or remediation partners.
We discuss those needs at the outset so the approach accounts for what happens after the calculations are complete.
The Fair Work Ombudsman publishes a Payroll Remediation Program Guide setting out its expectations of employers working through underpayments.
Pricing is based on the scope of the work, including the size of your workforce and the number and complexity of your industrial instruments.
If you want to continue checking subsequent pay runs, we can also discuss an ongoing arrangement and the data preparation, exception review and support it would require.
