What is Single Touch Payroll (STP)?

Single Touch Payroll (STP) is a mandatory Australian Taxation Office (ATO) initiative to reduce employers’ reporting obligations to government agencies. By using Payroller, it eliminates the need for manual reporting to the relevant government agencies, keeps your business compliant and streamlines all your payroll processes – error-free. Find out more with our guide to Single Touch Payroll.

What is Single Touch Payroll (STP) Phase 2?

STP Phase 2 is the expansion of the ATO’s Single Touch Payroll reporting. Under these changes, you will no longer need to manually report information about your employees to multiple government agencies. If you are an existing Payroller user, you would have received instructions on how to transfer over to STP Phase 2. (If you did not, please contact our live agents to assist you.) If you are a new user, your Payroller account will automatically be set on STP Phase 2 and all payruns will already be converted to the new reporting format. Find out more with our guide to Single Touch Payroll (STP) Phase 2.

What if there are new phases to STP?

As the ATO continuously refines how STP will adapt to employers’ needs – you can rest assured that Payroller will remain STP-compliant with current and new requirements by the ATO.

Can I use the account on both web and app?

Absolutely, use Payroller freely between devices as it syncs across desktop (Windows, MacOS) and mobile (iOS, Android) to ensure that all your data is consistent.

Is Payroller a cloud payroll service? What is cloud payroll?

Yes we are. A cloud payroll software allows you to manage all the elements of payroll online – on mobile and desktop. That means you’ll be able to operate payroll processes, onboard new employees and manage staff rosters remotely as long as you have an internet connection.

What are the benefits of payroll software?

STP-enabled Payroller automatically sends your employees’ tax and superannuation information to the ATO. You will not need to manually complete payment summaries and group certificates at the end of the financial year. Less paperwork, more time saved.

How is Payroller easier to use than other cloud payroll or STP-enabled software?

Speaking to the community, we understand what agents and employers need from a cloud payroll solution. Payroller streamlines and uncomplicates your payroll processes. Our user-friendly software is why we’re rated exceptionally across devices and operating systems.

Frequently asked questions about payroll for builders

While the Payroller mobile app is completely free – fees will apply to use the Payroller web app, Xero integration, and to make super contributions through our integrated super clearing house (Beam).

What award rates apply to my builder workers?

Construction workers typically fall under the Building and Construction Award 2020. This award outlines minimum pay rates, allowances, penalty rates for overtime, weekends, and public holidays. Payroll software can ensure you’re paying your workers correctly based on their classification (e.g., carpenter, bricklayer, laborer).

How do I handle apprentices and trainees in my payroll?

Apprentices and trainees have specific pay rates and conditions outlined in the relevant award. Payroll software can help calculate their wages based on their experience level and ensure compliance with their training requirements.

What site allowances do I need to consider for builders on my payroll?

Construction workers may be entitled to various allowances depending on the site location and conditions, such as dirty work allowances, confined space allowances, or working at heights allowances. Payroll software can help manage these allowances and ensure they’re reflected accurately in workers’ pay.

Why is workers' compensation insurance important for builders' payroll?

Construction is a high-risk industry with a higher chance of work-related accidents or injuries. Workers’ compensation insurance protects your business from financial liability if an employee gets injured on the job. It covers medical expenses, lost wages, and rehabilitation costs for injured workers.

While workers’ compensation insurance isn’t directly processed through payroll software, it can indirectly affect your payroll calculations.

The cost of your workers’ compensation insurance policy is often based on factors like the type of construction work you do, your claims history, and your payroll. This means higher-risk projects or a history of claims may lead to higher premiums, impacting your overall labor costs. Some workers’ compensation plans may also have employee deductibles, meaning the employee might be responsible for a small portion of their initial medical expenses. This could temporarily affect their take-home pay.

How does Payroller work?

Payroller is an STP-enabled software that automatically submits payroll information to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) – through a secure cloud network – whenever you perform a payrun.

As a truly one-stop payroll solution, you can manage staff roster, invite your accountant, bookkeeper or BAS agent and even make Super contribution (Beam) on Payroller.

Can I share my Payroller account?

Absolutely, you may share your account and even set different access permissions.
