When starting up a new business, there are many things to consider. Hiring the right people, implementing the suitable infrastructure, and engaging the right clients are all priority.\u00a0You need to scope out the competition you’ll be facing, and research the appropriate rules and\u00a0regulations\u00a0surrounding\u00a0trading in the relevant\u00a0industry.\u00a0However, one crucial element is often forgotten \u2013 payroll.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As soon as you employ just one person,\u00a0processing\u00a0payroll<\/a> automatically becomes a necessity for your business.\u00a0If you’re starting up, implementing a payroll solution as soon as possible has tangible impacts on how your business will\u00a0progress. Here’s why:\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Trust is key to employee retention<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Employee retention is an ongoing battle for many businesses. Research conducted by PwC<\/a> found that Australia is falling way behind in the race to retain good talent. Out of 11 developed countries researched, Australia sat last with\u00a023% of staff turnover experienced in a year. The Netherlands were the best performers, with only 4% annual turnover of staff. Employee retention is considered a key driver for business success. Each time a new employee needs to be hired,\u00a0significant\u00a0resources go into recruiting, onboarding, and training that new staff member. A high level of turnover therefore leads to increased overheads not experienced in businesses with high\u00a0employee retention.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to research\u00a0by The\u00a0Workforce\u00a0Institute, payroll errors (late or incorrect wages)\u00a0could be a large contributor to high employee turnover figures.\u00a0Employees need to be paid correctly, and on time.\u00a0The Workforce Institutes’ research found\u00a0that 25% of employees consider seeking new employment after one payroll error is made. That figure jumps to 49% after a second error.\u00a0Payroll errors are about more than just money. There is a trust between employer and employee \u2013 the employee will work hard, and the employer will correctly remunerate them for their efforts.\u00a0When paying an employee incorrectly, or a week late, there is a break in that trust.\u00a0Your employees have their own financial commitments to meet, and if they aren’t being paid the right wage on time, it’s unlikely they’ll stick around.\u00a0If you’re starting up a business, and you’ve employed talented staff that you want to keep around, a payroll solution is a must!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Errors are costly, and easy to make<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Payroll may seem straightforward. Your employees do their work, and you put money in their account \u2013 right?\u00a0Unfortunately, payroll is far more detailed than this.\u00a0Your startup likely employs staff under varying awards.\u00a0Fair Work Australia lists 122 modern awards<\/a>, each with around\u00a030 clauses and additional schedules. The wage of each employee will differ\u00a0depending\u00a0on\u00a0their age, status as casual, part-time or full-time, and if they’re a trainee or apprentice. There are pay-rate changes based on the time-of-day worked, and day-of-the-week worked. Tax deductions, varying\u00a0forms of\u00a0leave,\u00a0superannuation contributions, and allowed expenses\u00a0also need to be calculated. Hence, if you’re not a payroll expert, payroll mistakes are all too easy to make.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Not only will mistakes encourage employees to jump ship, but they will be very costly should bodies such as Fair Work or the ATO detect the errors.\u00a0Now that Single Touch Payroll reporting<\/a> requirements have been confirmed, the ATO will have access to every pay slip you generate. Hence, they will have ample ability to detect incorrect payments and issue applicable fines. Just because you’re a small startup business does not mean you will be exempt from fines! You can read more about Single Touch Payroll here<\/a>, and modern awards here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Time is money<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Processing payroll when you aren’t an expert at taxation requirements or modern awards is very time consuming. The phrase ‘time is money’ is even more true for startups, and the time spent trying to figure out how much to pay your staff could be more constructively used connecting to new clients, or bettering your product.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Choosing a payroll solution for your\u00a0<\/b>startup<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n
