Service & Expertise

Payroll and Workforce Administration

Small Business Payroll Services

LINK Books provides SMB Payroll Services from Brisbane to employers Australia wide, with pay runs handled end to end by a dedicated bookkeeper under registered BAS agent and chartered accountant oversight.

  • Pay run processing from timesheet entry to compliance checking, for payrolls from a single owner operator through to large multi-entity payrolls with timesheets, awards and shift loadings.
  • Super calculated and paid with each pay run to meet payday super timing, with Single Touch Payroll filed every cycle and EOFY preparation, finalisation and lodgements completed each June.
  • Payroll tax calculations and management for employers over the threshold, including grouping questions across related entities.
  • A structured handover that reconciles year-to-date STP figures against actual payments before the first run, with staff set up on Xero Me for payslips, leave requests and timesheets.

Best for: small and medium employers on Xero, or moving to Xero, that want payroll, super and STP taken off their plate by a Brisbane team.

Payroll and Workforce Administration

Modern Award and Enterprise Agreement (EA) Interpretation

LINK Books provides Modern Award and Enterprise Agreement (EA) Interpretation from Brisbane to employers Australia wide as part of its outsourced payroll service.

  • Award classification, penalty rates, allowances, terminations, provisions and back-pay calculations worked through for each employee.
  • Pay items for penalty rates, overtime, allowances, loadings and annualised arrangements built as rules in Xero rather than figures typed in by hand.
  • Quarterly checks for drift such as new hires classified in a hurry, and award rate changes loaded before the first run of each new financial year.

Best for: employers paying staff under modern awards who want classifications and entitlements checked and maintained.

FAQs

Do I have to be on Xero?

Eventually yes. Working in one platform is why each bookkeeper is an expert in it rather than a generalist across four. Businesses on MYOB or QuickBooks are converted across with their history intact.

Can LINK Books handle award interpretation?

Yes. Award classification, penalty rates, allowances and the messy edges like terminations and provisions are part of the payroll service.

Does LINK Books do STP and end of year finalisation?

Yes. Single Touch Payroll filing happens with every pay run, and EOFY preparation, reporting, finalisation and lodgements are handled as part of the service.
