Streamline your compliance strategy with automated calculations
Configure your award settings and pay rules to ensure that minimum pay rates, entitlements, and superannuation are paid correctly on every pay slip. Hours rostered, approved, and worked will instantly pass through our powerful award interpretation engine to payroll so you can check pay slips throughout the entire pay cycle and keep track of your payroll tax obligations. Employee profiles and positions are also referenced in the process, helping you comply with the relevant awards.

Actively maintain employee data
Keep your employee data up to date with more ease. You can configure foundU’s employee onboarding journey to digitally capture the right certificates, qualifications, work rights, financial information, and policy acknowledgements from your employees from day one. All their information will be stored on their dedicated employee profile and referenced by foundU’s payroll system. You can also set up document expiry and edit notifications so you can easily keep track of required updates.

Use foundU’s compliance testing features for continuous monitoring
Our compliance testing features will help you check if there are any errors in your payroll, before you complete your pay run. The payroll variance report lets you slice and dice your data to find discrepancies between time periods. Examine how pay rules are being applied with our powerful award test tool which helps you compare multiple employee breakdowns, conduct side-by-side payroll comparisons, run Better Off Overall Tests, and review leave. You’ll also get live compliance alerts for issues on your rosters so you can resolve issues before shifts are assigned.

Maintain the integrity of your workforce management data
Since all of foundU’s workforce management tools are built into one system, you’ll be referencing complete employee, time and attendance, leave, and award data when you calculate pay. We own and control all of our core features, meaning you don’t have to rely on integrations and exports between multiple systems, which increase the chance of errors and configuration issues. We can also update our system when Australian legislation changes (which it often does).
I've always been confident about payroll audits - I always keep that paper trail and make sure that I've got everything that's required. I would say it's a lot easier with foundU - everything is in the one platform, so everything is easily accessible. Previously, we would have to search through two or three separate programs to find what we needed. Having everything integrated makes it quick and easy.

Frequently asked questions
Why is payroll compliance important?
Payroll compliance helps businesses avoid legal and financial risks. If you don’t comply with payroll, workplace, and tax laws in Australia, you can face significant fines and possibly jail time. Employees also expect to be compensated fairly for their efforts, so paying them correctly and on time helps to maintain their trust and engagement.
Can you configure different pay rules for varied positions?
Yes, our powerful award interpretation engine can be configured to suit your business needs. Our intuitive design allows you to update your award settings and test your pay runs to ensure you are compliant.
Can your platform help me pay employees correctly if they work in multiple positions?
Yes, many businesses have employees that can work multiple roles or duties with different rates of pay. However, foundU is one of the only payroll systems in Australia that can automatically calculate the right pay rate for employees who work multiple positions across varying awards and agreements in the same time period.
This is enabled by allowing individual employee to have multiple positions on their profile. When an employee is rostered on, the relevant pay rate is applied based on the position assigned on their shift.
Is foundU STP2 compliant?
Yes, our seamless STP2 compliant integration removes manual handling and provides precision. Unlike most payroll software providers in Australia, we built our own Single Touch Payroll reporting technology which we can easily update when the ATO changes their requirements.
