FAQ
What is a managed payroll service?
A managed payroll service lets you outsource all or part of your payroll processing to a team of qualified payroll professionals.
Access offers a Fully Managed Payroll Service for businesses that provide their payroll data externally. Both options cover STP Phase 2 submissions, PAYG, superannuation, EOFY reconciliation, and comprehensive reporting.
How does Access help with Payday Super compliance?
From 1 July 2026, employers must pay superannuation on every pay cycle. Our managed payroll service ensures super contributions are calculated, reported, and paid on each pay run — keeping you compliant with the new Payday Super legislation and avoiding SGC shortfalls or penalties.
Is this service right for my business size?
Our managed payroll service is designed to scale — from 1 to 25,000 employees, across any industry or complexity of pay conditions. Whether you're an SME with a lean HR team or a large enterprise managing complex Modern Awards and multi-site workforces, we tailor the level of service to your specific needs.
What is the difference between Managed and Fully Managed Payroll?
The key difference is how your payroll data flows to us. With our Managed Payroll Service, you use an Access HR and workforce product — data is entered into your system and feeds directly into payroll processing. With our Fully Managed Payroll Service, you don't need an Access HR product — you simply provide your payroll data via spreadsheets or forms, and we manage everything end-to-end.
