Yes. Squirrel is developed with the complexities of Australia and New Zealand payroll in mind. This includes handling multiple rates, roles and worksites with ease, with the ability to generate a single payslip for employees with multiple roles.

Enjoy peace of mind that your risk of over- or under-payments is minimised with an automated payroll solution that understands our unique payroll landscape.

Our payroll system is developed with efficiency and, most importantly, accuracy in mind. We have automated the process for each employee based on award interpretation, annual leave available, superannuation, payroll tax (State compliant) and work cover. You won’t need to worry about introducing error through double entries, inefficient workflows, (or just being human) again. Simply fill in the details once, ensure timesheets are up to date, and let Squirrel  take care of the rest.

Squirrel automatically interprets more than 50 awards across a range of industries in Australia.

We can also develop non-standard awards on request, to ensure all payroll requirements are covered. Please contact us to discuss your award interpretation requirements.

Squirrel is designed to simplify and streamline your recruitment, people management, scheduling and payroll processes so once your system is set up and workflows configured, that’s it – no more spreadsheets, multiple entries and wasting time on manual workflows that your software should be able to handle.

This depends on the changes and additional modules required.

White labelling and standard workflow adjustments specific to your business are included in the all pricing levels for your Squirrel platform.

Custom sections and new development will be scoped and agreed upon prior to us starting, to avoid any surprises.
