Managed Payroll Services

Outsourced payroll run by Australian experts, every pay cycle

Alltech manages your payroll end-to-end - accurately, compliantly, and on time - so your team can focus on what they do best. With over 30 years processing Australian payroll and an average client retention of 6 years, we are the outsourced payroll partner businesses trust to get it right.

What we do

When you partner with Alltech for managed payroll, we are an extension of your team. Alltech becomes your payroll function – processing every pay run, managing compliance, lodging Single Touch Payroll (STP), and handling the complexities that come with Awards, Enterprise Agreements, and multi-site workforces.

We are Employment Hero Payroll specialists. All clients are managed utilising the Employment Hero Payroll solution. Our team has configured the platform for clients across manufacturing, wholesale, healthcare, construction, and professional services. Our expertise spans the building of Awards, Enterprise Bargaining Agreement (EBA) rule set builds, and the setup of integrating payroll with your HR and finance systems.

From new starter setups to leave management, superannuation, payslips, and payroll reporting, and of course complex calculations to awards and EBAs, Alltech manages it for you.

  • Are paying under a Modern Award, multiple Awards, or an Enterprise Agreement
  • Have outgrown Xero Payroll (or are approaching the 200-employee threshold)
  • Have insufficient internal resources to manage payroll compliantly
  • Are dealing with manual workarounds and calculations outside their payroll software
  • Have payroll managed by someone wearing multiple hats — not a payroll specialist
  • Operate across multiple locations or states
  • Have had a bad experience with a previous payroll provider
  • Want to remove payroll risk from their business entirely

Why Choose Alltech for Managed Payroll

There is a common misconception that payroll software does all the work. The software is only as good as the people running it – and identifying issues, interpreting Awards, and staying across compliance requires genuine expertise. That’s what Alltech brings to every pay cycle.

30+ Years of Australian Payroll

Alltech has been processing payroll since 1992. We know Australian payroll inside and out - understanding the complexities across Fair Work obligations, Award interpretation, Single Touch Payroll, and the complexity of EBAs.

Employment Hero Specialists

We are an Employment Hero preferred partner. Utilising the Employment Hero HR solution since 2018, our team knows how to configure it for real-world complexity, not just for the basics.

A Team, Not a Tool

You get a dedicated Alltech payroll consultant who knows your payroll scenario intimately. We provide transparency, checks and risk management measures, communicated clearly before every approval and pay run.

Complex Payroll? Our Norm.

Multi-site workforces, rotating rosters, EBAs, multiple Awards, overnight shifts, dual roles - we handle the payroll complexities that cause businesses to struggle in-house.

Compliance is Non-Negotiable

Protecting your employees' pay is our highest priority. We apply rigorous checks each pay run, maintain audit-ready records, and keep you informed of any risks.

Simple, Per-Employee Pricing

Alltech charges on a per-employee, per-pay-run basis. No hidden costs, no surprise add-ons, no charge for every small change. You know exactly what you're paying each cycle.

What Our Clients Say

How managed payroll with Alltech works

Getting started with Alltech is straightforward. We take the time to understand your business, your people, and your payroll – then we take it off your plate.

01

Preliminary Call

Before anything else, we get to know your payroll. We run a structured preliminary call to understand your pay frequencies, workforce makeup, Awards or Enterprise Agreements, cut-off processes, and how data flows into payroll. This is where we align on how we'll work together, agree on approval timeframes and confirm that everything in your setup is in order before the first pay run.

02

Handover & Familiarisation

By the time you come to Alltech's managed payroll team, your business is already set up in Employment Hero Payroll - either implemented previously or by our own implementations team. We take the time to thoroughly review your existing setup, understand your configuration, and familiarise ourselves with your payroll before we touch a thing.

03

First Pay Run

We process your first pay run with extra care and thorough cross-checks. We communicate our findings clearly before you approve, so you can see exactly what we've done and why - building your confidence in the process from day one.

04

Ongoing Processing

Each pay cycle, we collect your data, process payroll, apply all rules and compliance obligations, and send you the pay run with a clear summary for your own checking and for your approval before we lodge and submit your pay run data with the ATO for STP reporting. You stay in control; we do the heavy lifting.

05

Payroll Support & Changes

Your dedicated Alltech consultant is available for queries, changes, and anything that comes up between pay runs including new starters, terminations, back-pays, or Enterprise Agreement updates. We handle it.

06

Year-End & Compliance

We manage STP finalisation, superannuation reporting, and year-end obligations - keeping your records clean, your lodgements on time, and your business compliant.

Is outsourced payroll right for your business?

Many businesses default to managing payroll in-house without stopping to consider the real cost in time, expertise, software, and risk. Outsourcing your payroll to Alltech means you get a team of specialists, knowledgeable and up to date with legislation, already trained, already set up, and ready to be an extension to your payroll, finance and HR teams.

Outsourcing with Alltech

Managing payroll in-house

A note on handover risk

One of the most underestimated risks in in-house payroll is what happens when the person running it leaves. Payroll knowledge is often undocumented – it lives in one person’s head. When they go on leave, resign, or are unwell, the business is exposed. Australian payroll turnover reached 14.2% in 2025, and research has linked single-person payroll teams to significantly higher compliance exposure during transitions. With Alltech, your payroll is run by a team – there is always someone who knows your business.
