Easter break is a perfect time for people to spend time with loved ones, or just to take a mini-holiday. You may be ready for the upcoming long weekend, but are you sure your payroll system is ready too?

How do I know if my payroll system is ready?

1.         My employees are able to enter their timesheet and leave requests online

2.         I can approve the employee time-sheets and process payroll from my favourite holiday destination

3.         My payroll system has accounted for the differing penalty rates and loadings that are applicable during the public holiday period

4.         My employees are able to view their previous and most current payslips online

5.         My system has all the compliance and awards covered that have to do with my industry

Were you unable to answer yes to all of these? If not, you definitely need to get this sorted before you go on break!
