Course programme

Australian Payroll Primer

The course aims to provide participants with a clear understanding of the methodology and logic behind the payroll process in Australia.

Many people see payroll as simply a position whereby data is entered, a button is pushed and a computer calculates the result. This is far from correct. Payroll professionals need to understand the manual procedures involved to ensure the accuracy of payments. Incorrect pays can result in demoralised and angry staff members which then impacts severely on the company’s profitability. An error in the pay department can have far reaching effects in relation to legislative compliance.

Course Content

The first day concentrates on Australian Legislation including who can be employed in Australia, the current Industrial Relations Scene and the interpretation of conditions of employment. We will also include information on the changes due to take effect in Australia from 1 January 2010 so students can gain an understanding of both their current and future obligations.

The morning of day two focuses on entitlements:

· Types of entitlements

· Accrual of entitlements

· Categories of employees who have access to entitlements

· Legislation governing the administration of entitlements

· Calculation of entitlements

The afternoon deals with payroll calculations including ordinary pay, overtime, leave and allowances. Tax treatments are explained including PAYG, HELP, tax offsets, variations to withholding and the completion and lodgment of Tax File number declarations.

Day Three commences with Superannuation – calculation of the levy, Super guarantee charge and salary sacrificing. We will also briefly look at other tax obligations such as Fringe Benefits Tax

The remainder of the day concentrates on termination payments –

· Identification of the components of a termination

· The correct tax treatment of these components

· Defining the allocation of these components as

Lump Sum A, B, D and ETPs

The participants are provided with templates to aid in the calculation of marginal tax and complete exercises to test their knowledge of the processing of terminations.

The day concludes with two sections which outline the month and year end reporting and remittances requirements for payroll staff. The varying remittance requirements for PAYG are covered as well as the thresholds and percentages payable to State governments for payroll tax.
