This component enables you to run payroll for all employees in line with Australian legal and business requirements.

The SAP HR Payroll Australia component should be implemented in cooperation with the project team implementing other areas of SAP Human Resources (HR), in particular SAP HR Personnel Administration.

The SAP HR Payroll Australia component is integrated with other SAP HR components such as Personnel Administration and Personnel Time Management. There are interfaces to Financial Accounting and Controlling, and you can run payroll using a combination of SAP and third-party products.

The component uses data from other areas of SAP HR to calculate all statutory and non-statutory additions and deductions for your employees. SAP HR Payroll Australia offers a number of standard reports used in payroll, superannuation, leave, advance payments and taxation.

In addition to standard payroll functions, payroll processing for Australia comprises the following country-specific functions:

• Taxation
• Superannuation
• Advance payments
• Deductions
• Bonuses and commissions
• Salary packaging
• Leave processing
• Leave provisions and payments
• Month-end accruals
• Terminations/redundancies
• Reporting
• End-of-year processing/group certificates
• Bank transfers

SAP HR Payroll Australia also supports retroactive accounting. This function automatically recalculates payroll in the event of changes to master data and time data in periods for which payroll has already been completed.
