Plumbing & fire

Plumbing and fire payroll software.

Plumbing and fire protection crews carry licence allowances, on-call rosters, travel patterns and overtime across many sites. In Australia, Project Payroll interprets MA000036 or your agreement from approved hours, pays super every run and costs labour to the job it was worked on.
