If you’re unsure when and what employee entitlements should apply to your employees or your business, contact the Fair Work Ombudsman to discuss this further. Getting this right is very important as it sets the foundation for paying your employees correctly. You should also seek any independent legal advice as appropriate for your business.
Note: You can customise your Microsoft Excel or CSV payroll export file by adding or removing data fields.
