The people side of the business gets complicated quickly.

Yes. We handle Modern Award classifications, penalty rates, leave entitlements and the related compliance requirements, and we monitor changes to the Awards as they land. Pay runs are reviewed against the applicable Award rules and current classifications, with exceptions flagged for specialist review. Compliance work reduces risk rather than removing it, so anything unusual comes back to a person.

Employsure provides legal advice for employment disputes. We provide proactive HR management, compliance monitoring, Modern Award administration, and payroll processing. Many of our clients use both: we reduce the chance of issues arising through proper systems and monitoring; Employsure handles an employment dispute if one arises. The two services are complementary, not competitive.

We work with KeyPay, Employment Hero, PayAustralia, and most major payroll systems. We integrate with your existing software and configure it for the applicable Award, penalty rates and superannuation. No migration required, we work in your existing system.

Yes. Multiple classifications, shift penalties, award variations, leave loading, redundancy calculations, we handle them. Our team specialises in the complex cases that confuse standard payroll software.

That depends on your industry. There are over 120 Modern Awards covering everything from hospitality to healthcare. If you're unsure which applies, we identify it during onboarding. We then set up your payroll, classifications and penalty rates to match the Award requirements, and review them as things change.

Valont's People Hub is a fixed monthly fee scaled to your team size and needs, starting with basic payroll administration and compliance. Compare that to hiring a part-time payroll officer ($20k to $30k annually) or using payroll software ($100 to $300/month) without expert oversight. You get Award-checked payroll plus practical HR advice.

Penalty rates are additional payments required by Modern Awards for work on weekends, public holidays, or outside standard hours. Non-compliance can result in significant back-pay liabilities and Fair Work penalties. Every pay run is checked against the applicable penalty rates, with exceptions flagged for review.

Yes. We support the recruitment process, handle TFN declarations and superannuation setup, create role documentation, and cover WHS induction requirements. We also manage offboarding when employees leave, including final payments and compliance reporting.
