A lot of Glenhaven businesses are run from home on acreage properties, and once they take on their first employee – a labourer, an assistant, an admin support person – payroll becomes a genuine compliance obligation, not just a spreadsheet entry.
What catches home-based businesses out
It’s usually not knowing the rules exist rather than ignoring them: not realising STP has to be lodged every pay cycle, or that super guarantee applies even to a casual employee working a few hours a week.
What we set up
We configure payroll properly in Xero or MYOB from the first pay run – correct STP connection, accurate super calculations, and pay categories that match how your business actually operates, whether that’s one part-time helper or a small growing team.
Support for Glenhaven businesses
We work with home-based and acreage businesses across Glenhaven to get payroll compliant from day one, then keep it running smoothly as the team grows.
