HR & Payroll with Advivo
Welcome to our November newsletter. Some people may say that the year is nearly over. We prefer to think of it as a new year that is about to start. This was the theme of our recent event “Turbocharge your Business for 2020”, which highlighted that the best way to make the year ahead a success is to plan, presenting a range of experts that could help you with the planning and implementation.
Following on from this, our focus this month is to assist you in getting the Human Resources component of your business right. If you are not adequately resourced with the right people, supported by effective HR systems and the right processes, you may struggle to reach your goals through 2020 and into the future.
Our bookkeeping and payroll division can help with some of the payroll processing if you need help in that area. Our friends at Business 360 have offered a review to make sure that you are using the right awards, interpreting them correctly and ultimately paying your staff correctly. In recent times we have seen some major corporations, including Australia’s largest employer Woolworths, admit they have got it wrong. Woolworths mistake alone resulted in a back-pay liability of up to $300M. If these large companies with all their resources are struggling to get it right, it is obvious that payroll is complex, and even the largest companies need some assistance. So, we are here to help!
Please read the articles below on data security, getting your payroll right and how we can help you access government grants. There’s also an article on the ATO’s current drive on superannuation guarantee compliance, we outline the significant penalties for getting this wrong and what you need to do to avoid them.
Sincerely,
Leon Stephan
Managing Partner
