Workforce management platform Rippling and payroll advisory provider Pay Australia have set up a strategic partnership aimed at addressing the pressing payroll talent challenges faced by Australian businesses.

Recent research by Rippling showed that 59 per cent of Australian companies have made payroll errors in the past 24 months, highlighting the widespread impact of the current shortage of skilled payroll professionals.

This partnership aims to provide a comprehensive solution by combining Pay Australia's deep expertise in payroll processing and award interpretation with Rippling's advanced technology platform.

"Ensuring your employees are paid correctly and on time is an essential function of a business - but we're seeing the same issues around payroll management emerge again and again," Matt Loop, head of Asia at Rippling said.

The collaboration offers expertise and efficiency through Pay Australia's managed payroll services, and Rippling's powerful platform.

It also providees enhanced compliance and governance to keep pace with the latest regulations, an improved employee experience, and promised increased productivity.

By offering an integrated solution that combines local expertise with cutting-edge technology, Rippling and Pay Australia aim to simplify payroll operations, ensure compliance, and free up resources for businesses across the country.
