Managed Payroll
Implementation (AU)

Your Managed Payroll implementation is a hyper-personalised implementation with your own project manager and payroll specialist who will handle the set up of your new payroll solution and assist with best practice training during the payroll build.

Managed Payroll Implementation timeline

Kick off session

During your kick-off, your Project Manager will walk you through our presentation and the implementation hub. Your Employee Data (ED) and Leave, Allowance & Deduction (LAD) templates will be emailed to you at the end of your call, for you to have a look through.

Payroll discovery

Together we will review your payroll platform and data requirements set-up. Our Payroll Specialist will spend time with you to ensure we have captured your payroll needs. We will review the data templates required (previously sent) for your build and email you a summary of our discussion for your review and feedback.

Configuration and build

By now we would have received your approved/reviewed payroll discovery summary. You should be completing your data templates and send through to your Payroll Specialist, so we can begin your platform build.

Client learning

We believe in a simple setup and fast return on your investment. So weโ€™ve built these workshops to help you navigate the setup process and learn about our Employment Hero Payroll platform.

Scenario testing

During this stage, our team will test your various payroll requirements to ensure correct configuration of your platform. Testing is completed with timesheets & payslip data provided by you. We will send through the scenario testing results for your review & feedback.

Platform walkthrough

Once your testing phase has been completed successfully, the Payroll Specialist will complete a platform walkthrough with yourself and your payroll team.

Parallel testing

This is your first hands-on experience on the platform with the goal to process a parallel pay run in conjunction with your current payroll system. This is a great opportunity to get to know your platform and reach out to your implementation team if you have any questions.

Pre - Go Live

As your final setup requirements, you will be guided through the process of completing your setup for ATO Setup (BMS ID) and importing โ€‹Opening Balances including leave accruals. Prior to this step you would have completed BEAM or Super Clearing setup, Chart of Accounts setup and testing your journals/reports.

Go Live & Project Completion

Get excited, itโ€™s now time to run a live pay run on your new Employment Hero Payroll platform.
We are thrilled that you are now part of the Employment Hero family, and canโ€™t wait for you to get full value from our platform.
We will support you during Go Live and our Support team will take care of you after Go Live.
