Reasons Why Australian
Businesses Outsource Payroll
Pay compliance
Australia has a complex myriad of laws governing employment at both a State & Territory and federal level that cover minimum pay rates, minimum terms and conditions, leave entitlements, public holidays, termination of employment, workers compensation, privacy, superannuation and taxation (including fringe benefits), jury duty and record keeping.
The Fair Work Act is the primary piece of legislation governing employment in Australia. The Fair Work Ombudsman is now targeting directors, HR professionals, payroll officers, accountants and franchisors to make them potentially liable to prosecution in the event of any contraventions of the Fair Work Act by their business or franchisees.
Outsourcing your payroll will give you access to specialised expertise to not only navigate pay compliance queries but also receive advice on best practice approaches in managing your payroll.
Better utilisation of technology
Businesses are often finding themselves subscribed to a number of different solutions for accounting, rostering, HR and payroll – or perhaps only using the basic payroll features within their existing accounting suite and therefore not gaining any additional value from product features that exist today in leading payroll and HR software systems.
Any change in technology also adds to implementation and training costs for your staff if running payroll internally – and the resistance to change is also greater.
Risk Management
Risks that need to be managed relate to security, fraud and key person loss. Payroll fraud costs businesses a lot of money and can arise in a number of different creative ways such as ghosting, inflating time or rates and redirecting funds.
Save time
Sensitive processes such as payroll management are procedures that add significant weight to a single person or team of people that already have their hands full. When you outsource payroll, it frees up your time to focus on the other responsibilities that come with running a business.
Save money
In addition to the costs associated with maintaining in-house payroll software, you also have the cost of financing in-house payroll resources (salaries and on-costs), ongoing training, administrative overheads and recruitment costs.
The latest payroll benchmarking report discovered that it costs the average business with under 200 employees $36.30 per payslip* to manage payroll in-house. Small businesses can save up to 75% of their payroll overhead costs** by outsourcing their payroll

What are the consequences of payroll errors?
There are typically only 3 things that contribute to errors in the payroll process – people, processes and technology. Highly skilled payroll professionals are very hard to attract and retain in Australia – they are in high demand. Most payroll mistakes are made because the person processing payroll lacks knowledge, skills and training.
Symptoms of poor payroll processes and systems that need improving include:
- Employees and managers complain of errors and delays;
- There is a significant amount of manual work involved;
- Information is not easily accessible, and reporting does not provide any valuable insights; and
- Frequent off-cycle payments are being made to fix errors.
If your payroll processes display any of these symptoms, it may be time to think about outsourcing your payroll. You can complete a self-service health check using Employment Innovations resources.
How to choose the right Outsourced Payroll partner
In 2018, it is estimated that 24.7% of all Australian businesses and 37.8% of Australian SMEs with less than 200 employees are now operating under an outsourced payroll model, up from 21.3% and 28% respectively in 2017*.
Choosing the right outsourced payroll provider for your business comes down to a few critical factors:
- Expertise;
- Proven track record;
- Compliance focus;
- Technology and features;
- Reporting capabilities;
- Integration options;
- Access to services that drive long term partnerships and expansion with your business.
