Payroll in Australia

With strong connections to Europe, the Americas and Asia, Australia has many opportunities for growth in both established and untapped markets. Changing regulations, especially in areas such as inclusive parental leave, additional leave for volunteer firefighters, as well as a crackdown on wage theft, make for an exciting payroll landscape.

In this first episode of Payroll Around the World, we explore the world of payroll down under. ADP experts Kylie Baullo and Graham Coutts share their expertise with listeners and provide detailed insight into what makes payroll unique in Australia, including new leave laws, why wage theft is such a serious issue in the country, and the need to adapt to rapidly changing legislation. We also speak to Peter, who lives and works in Tasmania and recently became a father, about how Australia’s newly expanded parental leave laws allow him and his wife to raise their family without either one having to put their career on the back burner.
