Yorgum

A Testimonial To Our Services

Yorgum Aboriginal Corporation is an Aboriginal Community Controlled, not for profit organisation providing community-based healing, counselling, support and referral services to all Indigenous people based in Perth . Yorgum’s vision is to provide a nurturing and safe place that promotes the strength and resilience of Aboriginal people through culturally appropriate healing.

Seamlessly manage multiple locations all from one platform

Dion Storey, Corporate Services Manager at Yorgum Aboriginal Corporation, has been with Yorgum for over three years and is responsible for the management of Human Resources and other business functions. With over 4 locations across WA, Yorgum Aboriginal Corporation possesses a high-functioning team, working with the public sector to provide culturally secure, trauma-informed services.

“Yorgum is in the not-for profit sector and we need to ensure our staff are able to effectively assist their clients,” Dion explains. “One of the reasons Yorgum required something like HR Pay Solutions was to be able to better manage our HR and Payroll Processes accurately and efficiently”, explains Dion.

What Payroll Solution was Used Previously

Yorgum Aboriginal Corporation migrated to HR Pay Solutions in May 2019. Previously, the payroll was completed internally via MYOB Account Right Live and a separate time and attendance system. The main issue with this was the time required by Yorgum staff to manage time and attendance and process the payroll.

HR Pay Solutions provided Yorgum with one software that manages onboarding, time and attendance, payroll and human resources.

Why The Switch

Yorgum Aboriginal Corporation underwent a rigorous process when evaluating their payroll options with three key assessment criteria:

Efficient labour and cost centre management

1. Ability to cost labour directly to jobs and cost centres within Yorgum

2. A system that would integrate as seamlessly as possible to the general ledger format used with Yorgum’s internal accounting system

3. Good value for money (considering the initial and recurring costs associated with the solution)

The Benefits

Savings in time – “We have saved over 3 hours a week on HR and Payroll related tasks,” Dion says.

Error reduction – Dion explains that the solution provided by HR Pay Solutions has assisted with Yorgum error reduction. “Yorgum has a complicated Industrial Relations systems and HR Pay Solutions is able to deliver. Through their software and services, Yorgum is able to ensure they meet their compliance requirements”.

A system working seamlessly with your business

Increased employee satisfaction – Dion says that, “The HR Pay Solution’s app and the Employee Self-Service (ESS) function has been well received by all Yorgum employees. They can see what leave they have owed and so on. Staff can jump in at any point in time. I think staff find it much easier to plan their leave when they know how much they can apply for. They can look at the calendar as they go.”

Ease of use – “I think most people find the HR Pay Solutions software easy to use. Yorgum Staff can go into the app and have a look at their own payslips and leave balances online.”

Reporting – Being able to see electronic HR document acknowledgement, leave reports and the like is really handy,” Dion says. Dion explains that “the HR Pay Solutions system provides advanced reporting that has actually improved how Yorgum manages costs and staff”.

Onboarding – Dion commented that, “the onboarding process is great, and employees have further commented that the HR Pay Solutions process is responsive, informative and easy”.

Compliance – “HR Pay Solution’s Human Resource services has assisted with legislative compliance requirements, specifically in relation to employment contracts, policies and procedures,” Dion explains.

The importance of paying employees correctly!

Ensure your business

pays correclty

If you run a business, you have to pay your employees and ensure it is done correctly. It’s that simple. Your payroll staff are human, so mistakes are likely to occur from time to time. However, habitual errors may foster mistrust in your employees and cause them to file a complaint against your business with the ATO and the Fair Work Commission.

Under Federal and State Laws, you must compensate your employees by the established payday and as per legal requirements, so if you make payroll errors, resolve them promptly and effectively. For best results, employ knowledgeable and reliable Government Licensed payroll companies and use up to date and accurate software to process payroll, super and meet Government reporting obligations.

How you decide to pay is complicated. There are seemingly endless payroll solutions and services out there for all types of businesses. From comprehensive solutions such as outsourcing to in-house payroll software providers, it’s hard to figure out what’s right for your business. Processing payroll by yourself can be difficult, and if it’s something you’re doing for the first time, it’s crucial that you consult with an expert before you get started. The challenge with processing your own payroll comes with what you may miss – if there are deductions or tax-related issues that you file incorrectly, you can expose your business to serious liability.

What to look out for

Failure to comply

will result in fines

When managing payroll, you must record, track and monitor your company’s payroll expenses. Your system must be able to accurately track all wages and salaries paid, allowances, deductions and other requirements thus ensuring compliance is met.

Fair Work states that you must pay your employees the required minimum wage for their time worked. The modern awards are in place to ensure areas such as overtime, allowances, termination payments etc are paid correctly. Failure to compensate employees and pay applicable taxes / super according to federal and state law may lead to audits and penalties from the ATO and Fair Work.

When it comes to reporting, businesses should ensure they understand their obligations. Single Touch Payroll, Tax File Declaration, PAYG and Payroll Tax are some of the few reporting requirements businesses need to make in terms of Payroll.

HR Pay Solutions can provide your business with expert knowledge in the payroll field ensuring your business pays employees correctly. When assessing your payroll situation, we recommend the following:

• If you are aiming to manage payroll in-house, you use the right software to ensure your business is paying employees correctly.
• If you are aiming to outsource, use Government registered payroll providers who are experts in their fields.

Why do you need outsource?

Outsourcing will

ensure compliance

Not every company has the budget to hire staff as and when they need them. For any company, outsourcing can help keep costs low. With outsourcing, you only need to pay for the services you require, unlike a permanent employee, who requires payment, regardless of whether they’re constantly working or whether it’s tasks that only needs doing every so often. It makes sense that outsourcing is probably going to be a better option.

Outsourced payroll services can be relied on to maintain a consistent approach to payroll management and ensure compliance is met, while keeping costs low. In summary, outsourcing achieves three main goals:

• Frees up time and resources therefore allowing a greater focus on core business activities.
• A reduction in costs and risks.
• Gives your business access to better technology and expertise

The importance of using the right payroll system

Payroll is directly associated with employee compensation. If the system you use to process your payroll has a weakness, it could affect accuracy. Payroll involves more than simply compensating your employees for time worked, and inaccuracy may lead to severe consequences.

It’s easy to pay employees once a job is completed, however having a proper system in place mitigates risk and vastly improves your business operations.

It may sound counter-intuitive, but payroll systems aren’t just about paying employees. Payroll processing is a detailed documentation system that tracks who is working for your company, how long they’ve worked for you and how much money you’re spending on labor. Terms like “payroll processing” and “payroll system” can make this sound complicated, but it’s actually quite simple. If you work with a payroll provider, your “system” will be automatically set up through the company. If you’re on your own, you’ll have to set up your own system.

HR Pay Solutions can provide your business with a leading cloud payroll software that ensures you remain complaint with payroll practices and legal requirements. Our software is customised to your business requirements thus ensuring compliance is met.
