Payroll
Your Payroll Officer runs your payroll as part of your finance function. Delphi AI prepares and checks the routine work in the background, and you approve before a dollar moves. Every run is paid and reported on the calendar your team can set a watch by.

What you get every month
Six deliverables every cycle, specified like a product. If it is not on this list, we agree it before it is in scope.
Your Payroll Officer runs every cycle on your approved pay setup; Delphi AI prepares and checks the routine work in the background before it reaches you.
You approve the run, and it is paid on the calendar agreed with you, every cycle.
Each pay event reported through Single Touch Payroll on or before payday, as filed law requires.
Super worked out with the run it belongs to, so the Payday Super clock starts on the right number.
Payslips delivered each run, and the time and wages records behind them kept the way the Fair Work Act expects.
Pay questions go to the person who runs your payroll, on the platform, with the context already loaded.
And what is not included: rostering and time-and-attendance systems, employment contracts and HR advice, and income tax returns. The books your payroll reconciles into are bookkeeping, a separate service on the same platform.
Why change
Payday waits for nothing: not leave, not a busy week, not a rule change. Most businesses run it on borrowed hours, the night before, with the setup interpreted from memory.
Your Payroll Officer runs every cycle; Delphi AI prepares and checks the routine work in the background before it reaches you.
The run comes to you first, with the variations flagged in plain English.
STP with every pay event, and super calculated with the cycle it belongs to.
No timesheets, no hourly billing, no surprises.
Paying people correctly and being able to show it are different jobs. Visory does both.
One system, five services
Every Visory service runs the same way: a dedicated client team, Delphi AI under their oversight, and one platform where you can see all of it.
The same system runs bookkeeping, payroll, payables, receivables and Visory Insights. Only the work changes.
Payroll Officer The rules payday runs on
Payroll in Australia runs on standing rules with real consequences: reporting with every pay event, super on a payday clock, criminal liability for intentional underpayment, records kept for seven years. Most owners carry them as a background worry.
At Visory they are built into the process instead: the run is prepared and checked against your agreed setup by Delphi AI, overseen by your Payroll Officer, approved by you, and every step leaves the record the law expects.
At onboarding, your Payroll Officer builds the award that covers each role into your payroll: classifications, penalty rates, overtime and allowances. When the Fair Work Commission’s annual wage review or an award change takes effect, the new rates go in before your next pay run. You confirm the award and classification for each role, and we keep them current.
There is no window to tidy the run up afterwards, so the checking happens before you approve it, not after the ATO has the data.
Employers report salaries and wages, PAYG withholding and superannuation liability information to the Australian Taxation Office with each pay event, on or before the day it is paid, through Single Touch Payroll.
Taxation Administration Act 1953, Schedule 1, Division 389; mandatory for employers of all sizes from 1 July 2019 (Phase 2 reporting from 1 January 2022).Super is calculated with the run it belongs to, not reconstructed at quarter end, so the clock starts on the right number.
Super guarantee contributions are on time only if the employee’s fund receives them, with the details needed to allocate them, within seven business days after the qualifying earnings are paid. A late contribution makes the employer liable for the super guarantee charge.

Intentionally underpaying an employee’s wages or entitlements is a Commonwealth criminal offence, sitting alongside the existing civil penalty regime for underpayments that are not intentional.
Fair Work Act 2009, section 327A, inserted by the Fair Work Legislation Amendment (Closing Loopholes) Act 2023; in force 1 January 2025.Payslips, approvals, reports and the books behind them stay on the platform, kept and retrievable.
Time and wages records are kept for seven years, readily accessible to a Fair Work Inspector, legible, in English, and never changed except to correct an error. An employer that has not kept them may have to prove to a court that it did not underpay.
Fair Work Act 2009, sections 535 and 539; Fair Work Regulations 2009, regulations 3.31 to 3.44; in force from 1 July 2009.The monthly rhythm
Payday runs to a rhythm your team can set a watch by: the run prepared, your approval, the payment and the report. Here is one cycle for Harbour Studio, end to end.

Having Visory as a flexible partner to handle our day-to-day has meant real relief for our CFO. From an economies of scale perspective, the outsourced model is cost-effective compared to bringing someone in-house, and the handoff to our external accountant for tax has been noticeably smoother than it was before.

A service. Your Payroll Officer runs your payroll every cycle: Delphi AI prepares and checks the run in the background, you approve it, and it is paid and reported. You never drive the software.
Yes, by design. Every run comes to you for approval before payment, with the variations flagged in plain English. Nothing that moves money happens without you.
The rules payroll runs on are built into the process: STP reported with every pay event, super calculated with the cycle it belongs to under Payday Super, and time and wages records kept the way the Fair Work Act expects. Your pay setup is agreed with you in writing, every run is prepared and checked by Delphi AI under your Payroll Officer, and every step leaves an audit trail.
Visory works inside Employment Hero, KeyPay and Xero Payroll, and your file stays yours. Any change to your setup is agreed with you before we start.
Switching is run as a project, not a leap: your pay setup is documented and agreed, a parallel run is checked against your current payroll, and the first live run happens with support. Onboarding is covered step by step on the how Visory works page.
Payslips every run, delivered through your payroll platform as they are today. Pay questions come to your named Payroll Officer, so they are answered by the person who ran the pay.
One flat monthly fee for the scope we agree, with no timesheets and no hourly billing. The fee reflects the services you take and the volume of work in your business, so you know the cost before you start. See the pricing page for an estimate.
