About WageCheq
For Australian clients, WageCheq consultancy is staffed by:
- Industry experts to spot structural / compliance issues and reconcile even recent changes to law
- Data professionals to process historic client pay data
- and a team of Auditors to further validate that data
WageCheq was established in 2023 by a collective of industrial relations professionals with many years of combined experience in wage compliance, employment law, and audit methodology.
The foundation of WageCheq lies in a sophisticated audit framework and software system first conceived in 2002 — a proven methodology that has been deployed repeatedly across complex wage and entitlement audits.
Driven by the vision to bring this system to scale, WageCheq reimagined the model using state-of-the-art technology and data systems. Our mission is to make high-integrity compliance accessible to a wider audience — delivering clarity, accuracy, and confidence in every payroll check.
