Payroll

Payroll Services is a client contact team responsible for ensuring all employee and payroll records are processed accurately to ensure the correct and efficient delivery of pay.

Payments to staff are made in accordance with the Salary Scales outlined in the University’s Enterprise Agreements.

Salaries are paid fortnightly and strict deadlines are in place for the submission of information for processing purposes. See Payment Frequency for more information.

Salaries are paid into nominated bank accounts on the Thursday of each pay fortnight. All staff must nominate at least one bank account to which their pay can be deposited (this is termed a disbursement). However, as a benefit to staff, salaries may be split & disbursed into a maximum of nine (9) accounts. See Disbursement for more information.

Employees are able to view their salary details on-line via the Employee Kiosk.

Taxation

The University operates in accordance with Australian Taxation laws and PAYG (Pay As You Go) taxation is deducted from employees salaries on a fortnightly basis. More information about taxation (including Payroll Tax and Eligible Termination Payments) is available on the taxation information page.
