Payroll and HR Software

Payroll and HR

What features does your business need for payroll and human resources?

Have you given any thought to which features you need, or just the ones you want?

There’s no point implementing new business software if doesn’t include required features. Don’t make the mistake of buying a new program that only delivers what you want, not what you need.

Any payroll and HR solution should be future-proof and updated frequently. Ensure it is compliant for your needs and includes relevant taxation features.

In Australia and New Zealand there is a GST, whereas in other parts of the world it’s called Sales Tax. Some software programs can change the terminology to suit, but others cannot.

One recent example that is specific to businesses in Australia is Single Touch Payroll.

Single Touch Payroll

Single Touch Payroll (STP) was first initiated in July 2018 for businesses with 20 or more staff. In July 2019, STP will be mandatory for all businesses in Australia. Read our definitive guide to get the latest information!

Some larger payroll companies such as MYOB and Xero were slow to offer compliance. These large companies command so much market share that they need to dumb down features. This in turn impacts how difficult it is for them to service a growing business.

STP has been one of the largest changes to the payroll structure in Australian business for a long time. It is only one of the changes that could impact how SME’s run their business in the future.

Searching for Payroll Features?

Make sure you find the most suitable HR and Payroll system for your business with thorough research. Create a check list of features that you need, features you want, and features you’re curious to know more of. Think about your overall business management software and how it’s helping you grow.

Features you need

It’s vital to your business growth that this list includes everything you need. If you miss a feature here, you might buy a solution that doesn’t meet your business requirements. Take the time to make sure you cover every possible issue. This list is the most important, so make sure you cover every scenario now and into the future. It might include PPL or other employee entitlements.

Features that you want

This list will include features that help your business, making it more efficient. You may be able to use software that doesn’t include these items, but it can be easier to compare against others. This is also a good list to see what value the program might be to your business because it does include them.

Features you’re curious about

As you research Payroll and HR software, you will come across features you have no used before. Write down the feature and any questions you have about to it. As you become more knowledgeable through research these might also become more important. Move these items to the list of things you need or you want as you learn more about them.
