PAYROLL SERVICES

---

 Australian payroll has become high-risk.
With tighter enforcement, real penalties, and new wage theft laws, errors are no longer “small mistakes”.

At Brickles Books, we provide specialist payroll repair and compliance support — particularly for businesses with errors, historical issues, or inherited payroll systems.

And lets not forget about 1st July 2026 - Payday Super and the implications for your business.

Recent changes mean:

• Underpayments can trigger serious penalties
• Record-keeping failures matter more than ever
• Historical payroll errors can escalate quickly
• Directors and business owners face increased exposure  

You need payroll that is accurate, documented, and defensible. 

 Payroll in Australia is no longer “just paying wages”.

It is a high-risk compliance area involving Fair Work, the ATO, superannuation obligations, and now wage theft laws.
