Construction

Construction payroll software.

Commercial and residential builders run overtime, RDOs, travel, fares and site allowances across several jobs in one week. In Australia, Project Payroll interprets MA000020 and your EBA from approved site timesheets, pays super every run, files STP2, and costs labour to the cost code the hours came from.

Construction payroll questions

Do you handle RDO accrual and shutdown?

Yes. RDO accrual, banking and the Christmas shutdown are modelled from your agreement, not tracked in a spreadsheet.

What if we are award-only with no EBA?

Then you pay no EBA build fee. The engine runs MA000020 on its own and we keep the rates current.

Are allowances treated as all-purpose where required?

Yes, which changes overtime, penalties and super — the detail manual payroll usually gets wrong.

How do timesheets reach payroll?

Synced from BuildPass or Procore once approved on site. No CSV export, no re-keying.
