Thousands of employers use e-PayDay Go to meet their Australian Taxation Office and Fair Work obligations

In 2022, we proudly launched our progressive cloud payroll software, e-PayDay Go®, allowing real-time access to every Modern Award provided by Fair Work. This exciting enhancement significantly enriches our already robust product, and we’re pleased that the benefits of this capability were recognised long ago.


Starting January 1, 2025, employers who intentionally underpay their employees may face criminal prosecution under the wage theft laws established in 2023.


Fair Work Voluntary Small Business Wage Compliance Code


e-PayDay Go® is designed to help employers meet the Fair Work Voluntary Small Business Wage Compliance Code. We have also exceeded the Fair Work requirements by identifying the Award and Classification on the Pay Slip. This simple addition provides reassurance for employees and allows them to verify that they receive accurate pay, as this information is the basis of the pay calculations. Pay slips also include a link to Fair Work, which provides relevant compliance information for employees.


The positive benefit for small business owners is that Fair Work will not pursue criminal charges if an honest mistake leads to an underpayment and they are otherwise following the Code. This encourages a supportive environment where a commitment to compliance is acknowledged, allowing businesses to thrive while ensuring employees are treated fairly. We have also provided additional guidance to assist with their employment obligations.
