What to prepare
Tell us which records are available and where there are gaps. We can then distinguish ongoing work from any initial catch-up.
- Employer registration and identity details
- Employee commencement dates and payroll records
- Business activities and relevant classification information
- Prior returns, assessments and proof of payment
Timing and responsibility
Timing depends on the records, approvals and work required. Tell us about any deadline at the start. The engagement should identify the person handling your work, the review responsibilities and any external specialist needed.
Start with the correct employer and classification
The Department of Employment and Labour requires registration within seven days after the first employee is employed. Review the applicable fund or licensed mutual-association arrangement. Assessment rates depend on the employer’s classification and applicable assessment rules; an unsourced example percentage is not a quote for your business.
Reconcile earnings, assessments and payments
Keep the declared earnings schedule with the assessment and payment proof. A paid amount may still require allocation, while a missing earnings return needs a separate correction. Identify the specific blocker before requesting a Letter of Good Standing. The Fund controls its processing and the issue of the letter.
