Payroll Control Centre — a solution that empowers payroll users to act as validators — reduces payroll processing time while enhancing validation governance.

A modern and intuitive self-service experience, backed by a robust and proven calculation engine, empowers payroll teams to validate data with confidence and apply effective controls—reducing risk and saving time during payroll processing.

  • Employees own their own data, maintaining personal details, bank account information, deductions, tax and superannuation details. They can also access past and current payslips online
  • Managers have access to their team members' data, including the ability to manage pay grades, base pay, allowances, and approve annual salary increases and increments.
  • Payroll team leads and administrators utilise Payroll Control Centre dashboards to monitor alerts, assign tasks and process payroll within the defined controls.

Payroll data management

Employee payroll data management is the process of initiating, approving, requesting, or validating payroll data as a result of employee change events. Payroll data includes all elements necessary for calculating gross pay, net pay, and tax obligations—such as base salary, allowances, taxation, superannuation, garnishments, loan repayments, and overpayment recoveries. Changes to payroll data can significantly affect payroll outcomes, independent of gross remuneration or voluntary benefits that are contractually agreed or requested by the employee in line with relevant policies.

Payroll validations & controls

The Payroll solution includes intelligent, proactive, and task-driven validation tools. Using advanced business rules, the system automatically detects potential issues pre- and post- payroll runs. Payroll Team Leads can monitor real-time alerts, review pay results throughout the payroll cycle, and assign alerts to Payroll Administrators for resolution—ensuring accuracy and compliance throughout.

Payroll processing

End-to-end payroll processing includes calculations, validations, and bank transfers, executed on a scheduled or ad hoc basis. Payroll runs are scheduled according to defined payroll periods, ensuring employees are paid accurately and on time. The solution also supports ad hoc payments for small groups of employees and off-cycle payrolls for larger, unscheduled payments outside of regular pay runs.

Payroll posting, reconciliation & vendor disbursements

Post-payroll activities include effective validation of posting results, posting to finance systems and managing payroll vendor disbursements or data submissions.

Robust and accurate, the SAP payroll engine is used by hundreds of organisations in Australia.
