What's included in implementation
The same things every time, sized to your business.
Scoping
We learn how your business runs, which awards or agreements apply and what you're moving from. Then we agree the scope with you before any work starts.
Configuration and award mapping
Business settings, time and attendance settings, and your Modern Award or agreement rules, set up correctly from day one.
Employee data
We map your employee files into Pay Cat Payroll and, where your project calls for it, move the data across from your current system.
Testing
We re-run a pay run you've already paid and compare the payslips, so you can see the numbers match before you go live.
Training
Online courses plus a walkthrough for your payroll team, so everyone can use every feature with confidence.
Go-live and ongoing support
Opening balances loaded and support through your first live pay runs. After that, real help from people who know payroll, not just a software helpdesk.
Every setup is scoped to your business
There isn't a standard package, because no two payrolls are the same. After a conversation, we agree what's in scope before any work begins.
What shapes your setup
Your awards and agreements
How many apply, whether they are standard Modern Awards or enterprise agreements, and whether any need a template built.
Your people
How many employees you have and how your pay structures differ across them.
Where you're coming from
Starting fresh or moving from another system, and how much history needs to come across.
Training and extras
How much training your team needs, and whether you need custom pay rules or integrations.

Payroll software is only half the solution
We'll set it up properly, back it with real specialists, and keep it working as your business grows.
Setup is a one-off project, and the cost depends on your business, so we don't list a set price. It's shaped by things like your awards or agreements, how many employees you have and whether we're moving data from another system. We agree the scope and cost with you before any work begins.
It depends on how complex your award setup is and what we're moving across. We give you a clear timeline when we scope the project, before work starts.
Yes. Setup is part of getting started, so your award rules and settings are right before your first live pay run.
Your team runs payroll in-house, and you can call on Pay Cat support whenever you need it. If you'd rather hand payroll over completely, Outsourced Payroll is a separate service.
Set Up Payroll is a one-off project where we configure Pay Cat Payroll and train your team, then you run payroll yourselves. With Outsourced Payroll, our team processes your payroll for you every pay cycle.
