"We have
been using Advance Payroll Services since July 2001. They are worth
every last cent. They take the "headache" out of payroll - I am very
fortunate to have their services."

Why Use
Us?
We have set up our business to be flexible and our services vary
from client to client. Depending on the needs of the client we act as
their payroll and do what they require.

No Hidden Charges
When comparing us to other potential service
providers, please check them for hidden costs such as these below. We
do not have any extra charges in the course of normal
business, only what we have quoted you upfront:
- Some bureaus charge a processing fee on top of
fees per employee - we do not. This could be $50 per payrun
- They may also charge for setting up and
terminating employees on an ongoing basis
- Faxes
- Emails
- Various reports such as super
- Providing information or responses to agencies
like Centrelink
- Time talking to an operative of their
organization
(Please let us know if you hear of any other
hidden charges and we will add them to the list)

Leave Management
We keep your information on our system and manage
it for you. We do the accruals and deduct the absences. A lot of
bureaus just process whatever is given to them, they don't verify
absences against leave balances first, which we do. Eg. if an employee
doesn't have enough Annual or Sick Leave to cover an absence, our
system will process the difference as Leave Without Pay or Sick Without
Pay respectively. Of course we can override this if instructed.
If overrides are done your post-payrun reports
will show anyone with negative balances.

Superannuation
Australian superannuation legislation is very
complex and some competitors' systems cannot apply all the rules correctly,
such as these below. Because we designed our system, we know ours does:
- We take into account the junior age limits eg.
under 18 years of age super is not payable unless more than 30 hours is
worked per week in months where at least $450 gross is earned
- Minimum super payable only if $450 gross is earned per month
- We manage the Superannuation Maximum
Contribution Base on a quarterly basis (as per legislation), not
monthly capping as some companies incorrectly do. Eg. some systems cope
if commissions and/or bonuses are paid on a monthly cycle but can't cope
properly when paying quarterly. This can lead to underpayment of super.
