The introduction will set the stage by explaining the increasing compliance requirements for small businesses under the Voluntary Small Business Wage Compliance Code and the criminalisation of wage underpayments under new wage theft laws. Business owners must ensure they are paying employees correctly or risk hefty fines and legal action.
What’s Included in the Payroll Audit?
- The audit will review:
- Correct award classification for each employee
- Compliance with minimum wage, allowances, overtime, and penalty rates
- Pay slip and record-keeping requirements
- Annualised salary checks and reconciliations
- Compliance with apprentice and trainee contracts
- Identification of underpayments and risk areas
Why This Matters for Small Business Owners
- Financial Penalties Are Rising – Avoid legal action, fines, and reputational damage.
- Fair Work Ombudsman Crackdowns – Increased enforcement means non-compliance could lead to investigations.
- Payroll Errors Are Common – Even honest mistakes can result in back payments, penalties, and disputes.
