Payroll mistakes can cost you more than money.
Here are the top 5 pitfalls I see business owners make:
1️⃣ Missing deadlines
Late payments = unhappy team + ATO penalties
Tip: Set calendar reminders 3 days before each pay run
2️⃣ Incorrect tax calculations
Wrong PAYG = compliance headaches
Tip: Use Xero's automated tax tables
3️⃣ Poor record keeping
Missing timesheets = payroll guesswork
Tip: Implement digital time tracking
4️⃣ Overtime miscalculations
Underpaying staff = legal risks
Tip: Review award rates quarterly
5️⃣ No backup plan
Sick bookkeeper = payroll chaos
Tip: Have a documented process ready
The right systems save you time, stress, and money.
