CASE STUDY that PFG is in full compliance with its Annual Salary Arrangement obligations ,” said Monteau .
Accessible anywhere , on any device , Employee Service is designed to help Australian businesses confidently ensure compliance with FWC obligations , providing the three building blocks required to do so :
“ Employee Service makes the process of Annual Salary Arrangement compliance easy for both the employer and the employee . The employer can see exactly how many hours an employee has worked and the leave they have taken . And employees like it too because it makes it simple to complete their timesheets ,” she said .
Employee Service helps Australian businesses streamline the capture of employee time and attendance records , interpret these against the relevant Modern Award , and compare the interpreted data against an employee ’ s annual salary to identify any underpayments .
The solution can be deployed in as little as two days as an adjunct to an existing payroll system .
Gaining more visibility of employee work hours
Not only is Monteau very happy with Employee Service , she ’ s also received positive feedback from other managers at PFG , who say the solution makes it easy to monitor employee work hours and leave .
“ With Employee Service , our managers now have instant visibility of how many hours staff are working . We ’ re able to identify any compliance issues before they occur . It also allows us to be proactive in supporting our employees ’ well-being . We can see if we need to employ more people or put new systems in place to ensure our staff aren ’ t working overtime ,” she said .
Simplifying processes and saving time
Employee Service has helped make PFG ’ s payroll processes more efficient , said Monteau .
“ Employee Service has saved us hours each week as we no longer have to manually process timesheets . Previously , we had to remind employees to send their timesheets , then collate all the data from those into Excel spreadsheets . Employee Service has eliminated these processes for us . It now takes myself and other managers about 10 minutes to approve all employee timesheets ,” she said .
Empowering both managers and employees to ensure Fair Work compliance
Monteau said that Employee Service makes the lives of both managers and employees at PFG easier by streamlining compliance with Annual Salary Arrangement obligations .
“ And because Employee Service is a cloud solution , our employees can lodge their timesheets while working from home – which was of great benefit during the recent COVID-19 lockdowns here in Melbourne .”
Achieving Fair Work compliance with a trusted software vendor
Monteau said that she would recommend Employee Service to other businesses looking to ensure compliance with the new Fair Work obligations .
“ Employee Service is a very easy to use solution . I absolutely recommend it to other businesses that want to confidently ensure compliance with Annual Salary Arrangement obligations ,” she said .
“ We have been using Access payroll solutions for over 15 years and they have always been proactive about ensuring compliance with Australia ’ s ever-evolving workplace regulations .”
And to those businesses that are yet to review their Fair Work compliance , Monteau said it ’ s critical to do it sooner rather than later .
“ You can ’ t afford not to be compliant . If that means you have to do extra work , or implement a new software solution , it ’ s critical to do all you can to ensure compliance . Especially given the reputational , legal and financial risks of not doing so . Not only that – if you value your staff , it ’ s imperative to ensure you ’ re paying them correctly .” p
