Service
Payroll, STP & Superannuation
Hand over your pay runs and Single Touch Payroll reporting, with super prepared for you to approve, and get payroll admin off your desk every pay day.
Our work
What we handle
- Pay runs We process each pay run on your pay cycle from the hours and pay details you send, including for rostered and part-time staff.
- STP, PAYG withholding and reports We report each pay run through Single Touch Payroll (STP) and record the PAYG withholding we calculate in your books. Our payroll reports show wages, withholding and super for the period, and what your team costs.
- Superannuation We work out super for your employees with each pay run, using the fund details you give us. We prepare the super payments for you to approve or, where you have authorised us, make them on your behalf.
- Leave and termination pay We work out leave balances and termination pays from the pay details and award information you give us.
- Payroll tax and workers compensation We prepare and lodge payroll tax returns for businesses registered for payroll tax, and prepare the wage figures for your workers compensation declaration.
- Your software We run payroll in Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks. As a Xero Gold Partner, we can also help set up or tidy a Xero file.

FAQs
Common questions
Which payroll software do you work in?
Xero, MYOB and QuickBooks. OziDesktop is a Xero Gold Partner, and we run payroll in the software you already have.
Can you tell us which award applies to our staff?
No, we do not give award or employment law advice. You tell us the award or agreement and the pay rates, and we run payroll on that basis.
Can you handle payroll for rostered and part-time staff?
Yes. We work from your rosters or timesheets, so each pay run reflects the hours people actually worked.
What do you need from us for each pay run?
The hours or timesheets for the period, plus anything that changed since the last pay run: new starters, pay rises, leave or people leaving.
Is super handled with every pay run?
Yes. With each pay run we work out super and prepare the super payments for you to approve, or make them on your behalf where you have authorised us. Super and PAYG withholding both show up in your payroll reports.
Can you take over our payroll part-way through the year?
Yes. We pick up from your last pay run, using your payroll records for the year so far, and run each pay from there.
Need something outside this scope?
Every business is different. If you need additional accounting, bookkeeping, advisory or specialist work, we'll explain what's required and agree the scope with you before proceeding.
