Frequently asked questions about professional services and law offices
How does โTry for freeโ work?

So give Payroller a try, it only takes a few minutes to get set up.

What are the main payroll taxes I need to consider for my professional firm employees?
You can create payslips manually on spreadsheets using a payslip template. This method can be time-consuming and error-prone. Payroll software for small businesses generates payslips automatically after you enter employee hours and pay details.
Do I need to consider different award rates for professional services staff?
Generally, professional services employees are exempt from award rates due to their salary levels and professional qualifications. However, it’s always good practice to double-check relevant awards (e.g., Clerks – Private Sector Award 2020) to ensure compliance for any administrative or support staff who might qualify.
Is STP required for professional services firms for lawyers, engineers, or architects?
STP is a government initiative requiring most employers to report their employees’ salary and super information electronically to the ATO each time they pay their employees. STP has been mandatory for all businesses since July 1st, 2019.
What payroll records do I need to keep for my professional services firm?
You need to keep detailed records for at least seven years, including timesheets (especially for project-based work), pay slips, tax reports, and other payroll documentation. This ensures you can demonstrate compliance with regulations in case of an audit.
How does Payroller work?
Payroller is an STP-enabled software that automatically submits payroll information to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) โ through a secure cloud network โ whenever you perform a payrun. Payroller helps you to track, manage and record your payroll while safely sharing that information (and staying compliant) with the ATO.
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.
How long does it take to set up small business payroll with Payroller?
Only a few minutes. The majority of our customers get up and running within 15 minutes. If you do need more help in getting set up, simply reach out to our capable live agents and they will have you using Payroller like a seasoned user in no time. Check out our handy user guides.
