Hello from PaidRight
About PaidRight
PaidRight is an innovative payroll compliance system designed specifically for Australian payroll, finance, and HR teams. Founded in 2017 as a collaborative venture with CSIRO's Data61, PaidRight became an independent entity in July 2020. Since its inception, the Sydney-based team has been dedicated to restoring trust between employees and employers in pay matters.
PaidRight offers three main products:
- PayPrecision: This software helps identify and fix payroll errors before they happen, ensuring accurate pay distributions.
- Remediation: This product enables businesses to easily remediate six years of payroll data in just six weeks, streamlining the process of addressing historical pay discrepancies.
- Risk Assessment: PaidRight offers a comprehensive 10-day payroll risk assessment that examines every shift for every employee, providing a thorough overview of potential compliance issues.
PaidRight's innovative approach to payroll compliance has positioned it as a valuable tool for Australian enterpris businesses seeking to improve their payroll processes and maintain compliance with complex pay regulations. By empowering payroll teams with advanced technology, PaidRight aims to solve pay compliance more effectively and efficiently.
