Expert-led compliance support for Australia's most complex wage environments
At WageCheq, we offer more than just software. Our team of senior industrial relations specialists delivers end-to-end services that help you confidently meet your wage compliance obligations — from initial award mapping to full remediation and ongoing assurance. Whether you're responding to a risk or proactively managing it, our services are designed to give you clarity, defensibility and peace of mind.
Award Mapping
Before compliance can begin, it's critical to understand exactly which awards, enterprise agreements or contractual terms apply to each employee — and how.
Our team conducts a thorough review of your business operations and workforce structure to:
Identify applicable industrial instruments
Determine correct classifications and streams (e.g. day vs shift work)
Pinpoint risk areas caused by misclassification
This foundational step ensures all compliance activities are based on accurate, defensible assumptions — reducing the risk of costly errors down the track.
QuickCheq – Preliminary Audit
Fast, targeted insight into your compliance position.
QuickCheq is our desktop audit service — a high-level review of your organisation's payroll records, timekeeping data, and award coverage. Designed to provide:
Preliminary assurance on wage compliance
Early identification of risk indicators
A clear recommendation on whether further investigation is needed
QuickCheq is ideal for businesses wanting a cost-effective, low-disruption check before committing to a full audit.
Underpayment Remediation
Accurate calculations. Clear reporting. Trusted results.
When underpayments are identified, our team performs a full recalculation of historical employee entitlements — line by line, and pay period by pay period.
Our remediation process includes:
Rebuilding historical entitlements from scratch using WageCheq's proprietary engine
Comparing entitlements to actual pay to identify any shortfalls
Accounting for set-off arrangements and contractual terms
Producing detailed reports for each affected employee
Engaging with key stakeholders (e.g. lawyers, accountants, FWO) as needed
The result? A transparent, regulator-ready remediation process you can stand behind.
Proactive Assurance
Stay ahead of the risks.
For employers seeking ongoing confidence in their compliance, WageCheq offers proactive audit services tailored to your workforce and risk profile.
Our assurance audits provide:
Regular compliance checks across your workforce
Legal analysis of current entitlements and obligations
Early identification of systemic risks or blind spots
Practical recommendations for process improvement
