Time to value

Requires Expertise

You can use Yellow Canary to automatically audit payroll data against Australian Modern Awards, Enterprise Agreements, Long Service Leave laws, and Superannuation rules. It compares what employees were paid against what they should have been paid, flags errors with root cause analysis, and provides monthly compliance reports. It covers historical audits to find past underpayments and overpayments, pre-payroll reviews to catch issues before pay runs, and generates governance-ready reporting for executives and boards.
