At Boutique Business House™, we emphasise the critical importance of accurate payroll management. Paying staff the correct rates as outlined by Fair Work Australia is not just ethical— it’s a legal obligation. Underpayment, particularly of superannuation entitlements, can lead to severe penalties and additional charges, making compliance essential for every business.

​

To stay compliant, ensure that all new employees complete and sign the necessary forms before they commence work. Provide accurate pay rates and entitlements for each role to avoid discrepancies. We strongly recommend seeking professional HR advice prior to hiring to ensure all legal obligations are thoroughly addressed. Additionally, it is crucial to consult with WorkCover or your business insurance broker to verify that your insurance coverage aligns with new employment arrangements.

​

With these steps, your business can maintain a compliant and fair workplace while safeguarding against unnecessary risks.
