Payroll that’s accurate, compliant & always on time.

Payroll shouldn’t be stressful – or dependent on whether someone’s on leave, sick, or overwhelmed. At Square Penny, we manage your entire payroll and superannuation process with precision, consistency, and zero interruption to your operations.

End-to-end payroll & super management, handled properly.

We take care of every payroll requirement – from setup to processing – using approved systems, accurate workflows, and a team that never lets deadlines slip.

New employee setup & onboarding

Fast, compliant onboarding with correct classifications from day one.

Ongoing processing & compliance monitoring

A fully managed payroll cycle that runs on time, every time.

Payslip preparation & distribution

Clear, compliant payslips delivered to employees without delay.

Superannuation processing & reporting

Super tracked, calculated, and paid correctly – every time.

Single Touch Payroll (STP)

Accurate STP reporting lodged on time every pay cycle.

Accurate payouts, entitlements, and compliance handled with care.

State payroll tax

Payroll tax obligations monitored, calculated, and submitted accurately.

A payroll team that never misses a deadline.

Unlike internal payroll functions that rely on one person’s availability, our system ensures every payroll cycle is delivered on time – even if your dedicated bookkeeper is away. Standardised workflows mean you get consistent quality, no matter who’s processing your payroll.

Specialists trained in payroll legislation & compliance

Systemised workflows using Microsoft 365 & Xbert

Calendar-based reminders to ensure nothing is ever missed

Coverage when staff are sick, on leave, or unavailable

Avoid the payroll errors that create stress, penalties, and unhappy staff.

Payroll errors are costly, stressful, and almost always preventable. We identify the issues that cause the most disruption and eliminate them with clear systems, compliant processes, and precise execution.

Incorrect or late super payments

Super miscalculations and missed deadlines that lead to penalties and employee dissatisfaction.

Wrong employee classifications

Errors in awards, rates, or entitlements that create compliance risk and back-pay liabilities.

Inaccurate or incomplete timesheets

Missing hours, leave errors, and manual data entry mistakes that disrupt payroll accuracy.

Missed lodgements & reporting obligations

STP, payroll tax, or WorkCover submissions falling behind – often without the client realising.

Compliance doesn’t have to be stressful – we handle the heavy lifting.

Predictable compliance, smooth month-ends, and zero last-minute panic.
