by Aurion People & Payroll Solutions
Payroll in Australia is complex and highly regulated. Awards, enterprise agreements, superannuation, tax, and Single Touch Payroll reporting must align precisely with evolving legislation, including upcoming changes such as Payday Super. There is little margin for error.
Choosing the right people and payroll software is critical for organisations operating in this environment.
Aurion is an Australian people and payroll solution, purpose-built for local regulatory complexity, helping payroll professionals reduce risk, strengthen governance, and focus on supporting their people, not chasing spreadsheets.
Watch the video below to see how Aurion supports Australian organisations navigating payroll complexity with confidence.

Making complex payroll environments simple
Not all payroll software is built to manage complex award structures, multiple pay conditions, and layered approval workflows. Aurion is designed specifically for organisations operating in complex payroll environments.
Configurable rules, structured workflows, and automated controls reduce manual intervention and minimise risk. From onboarding to payroll processing and compliance reporting, Aurion supports enterprise payroll requirements with clarity and control.
Employees benefit from clear and simple payslips and self-service access, while payroll teams gain dashboards and reporting tools that provide oversight and confidence.
Complex payroll does not need to mean complicated systems.
"We’ve replaced our systems for a lower licence fee, reduced our data handling risks whilst bringing higher levels of date-driven automation to many high-volume tasks."
