Employer Portal for Payroll
Problem Statement: Today, employers have limited visibility into changes to employee payroll deductions, particularly when a novated lease or vehicle usage deviates from the original assumptions (e.g., higher kilometres, servicing, or running costs). These variations are typically identified late and communicated through manual reports, emails, or escalations, requiring employer intervention outside normal payroll workflows. This results in delayed approvals, reactive payroll adjustments, additional coordination effort, and avoidable friction between employers, FMOs, and employees.
Goal: Provide employers with a role-appropriate portal that gives them early visibility, approval control, and automated payroll alignment for salary packaging and novated lease variations—allowing changes to be approved and applied cleanly, predictably, and with minimal manual intervention.

Further to the comments above, the need for an Employer Portal is increasing due to Cyber Security rules limiting external email and links being sent. We are receiving repeated requests for such a service capability
