Melbourne's hospitality, retail and multi-award workforces carry Australia's most complex payroll obligations. From 1 July 2026, Payday Super adds a seven-business-day super deadline to every pay cycle. We handle all of it — accurately, every time.
Melbourne's complex award landscape — hospitality, retail, care, professional services — means payroll errors compound fast. We process every pay run correctly, code every obligation compliantly and remit super on time, every cycle.
Penalty rates, casual loadings, split-shift allowances and overtime correctly applied per award. No generic rates — correct rates for every employee classification.
SG contributions calculated and remitted via SuperStream clearing house with every pay run — meeting the seven-business-day deadline from 1 July 2026.
Disaggregated income type reporting to the ATO after every pay cycle — ordinary time, leave, allowances, bonuses and termination payments all correctly coded.
Full migration from the ATO SBSCH (closing 1 July 2026) to a SuperStream-compliant clearing house — managed end to end, including fund verification and testing.
Melbourne's hospitality and retail rosters frequently change. We process variable hours, casual engagements and part-time entitlements accurately in every pay run.
Failed super payments, rejected clearing house submissions and ATO correspondence handled by our team — no compliance issue goes unmanaged.
Melbourne hospitality and retail businesses face a double compliance challenge from 1 July — award accuracy and Payday Super timing. OrtúsPro manages both at a fixed monthly rate.
We take over your payroll with minimal disruption — reviewing your current setup, configuring for Payday Super and running a test cycle before going live.

Software configured for per-pay-run SG remittance. SBSCH migration completed. Award pay items verified. Test pay cycle run and confirmed before go-live.
Every pay cycle processed, STP lodged and super remitted. You approve the pay run — we handle everything else and flag any exceptions immediately.
Victoria has Australia's lowest payroll tax threshold — $700,000 per year. Melbourne hospitality and retail businesses cross this threshold faster than they realise, particularly as they add casual headcount for busy periods. Accurate payroll records are the foundation of accurate payroll tax reporting.
Payday Super amplifies the risk for businesses already stretched on payroll compliance. A weekly-paying hospitality group making 52 super remittances per year needs a system, not a spreadsheet. One missed or late payment triggers the Superannuation Guarantee Charge — assessed per payday, not per quarter.
Fixed scope, no hidden extras. Every OrtúsPro Melbourne payroll engagement covers the full compliance cycle.
How does Payday Super affect Melbourne hospitality businesses?
Melbourne hospitality businesses with weekly payroll will make up to 52 super payments per year instead of four from 1 July 2026. Each payment must reach employee funds within seven business days of payday. Managing this accurately alongside Modern Award obligations requires a payroll system — not a manual process.
Can you handle Modern Award payroll for Melbourne retail and hospitality?
Yes. Our team is experienced in Modern Award payroll — penalty rates, casual loadings, split-shift allowances and the specific SG calculation rules that apply to award-covered employees. We process and code these correctly in every pay run.
What is Victoria's payroll tax threshold and how does it affect payroll outsourcing?
Victoria's payroll tax threshold is $700,000 per year — the lowest of Australia's major states. Our payroll records provide the accurate gross wages data your tax agent needs to assess and lodge your payroll tax return as you approach or exceed this threshold.
