Join the Australian Payroll Association and Deputy as we explore how payroll teams can navigate an ever-changing compliance landscape, from Payday Super and award interpretation to workforce data accuracy and governance obligations.

While Payday Super is a significant milestone, the work doesn't stop once it goes live. Ongoing updates and changes mean payroll teams will need to continue adapting as the regulatory landscape evolves.

What you’ll learn:

• Payday Super: Navigating the next phase

• Time and attendance accuracy

• Managing compliance across awards and EBAs

• Simplifying payroll technology and systems integration

• Future payroll trends and regulatory watchlist
