Frequently asked questions about professional services and law offices

How does “Try for free” work?

“Try for free” allows you to discover if Payroller is the right software for you and your business before you commit to our platform. “Try for free” is cost and commitment-free and we do not require any credit card details to sign up. So give Payroller a try, it only takes a few minutes to get set up.

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 are the main payroll taxes I need to consider for my professional firm employees?

The main payroll taxes in Australia for employees in professional services are:

  • PAYG Withholding: We take income tax out of your employees’ salaries and send it to the ATO on your behalf.
  • Superannuation Guarantee (Super): You contribute a percentage of your employees’ base salary (currently 10.5% as of April 2024) towards their retirement savings (superannuation fund).
  • Payroll Tax: Depending on your location and if your business wages exceed a threshold, you might also need to pay payroll tax on what you pay your employees.

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) – through a secure cloud network – 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 payroll for my firm 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.
