Nanny Payroll the Easy Way. Affordable and Simple. 

No.

Of course, you absolutely can and for some families that is the right choice. They'll help get you set up with the ATO and sort out your Worker's Compensation Insurance. Alternatively, some will operate as a 'co-employer' of your nanny, which means they assume some of the reporting obligations.

But these services can be very expensive, often charging many hundreds of dollars in setup fees, and $100+ per month to process your payroll (versus our $8.80 per month charge).

Your obligation as an employer may be a lot more straight-forward than you realise. See the next question...

One-Time Setup Activities

You will need to register with the ATO as an employer to receive a Withholding Payer Number (WPN) — it's just one simple form.

You'll also need Workers Compensation Insurance — providers vary state-by-state, but again, it's a one-time setup activity and an annual insurance premium. (Hint: the cost is about $175 per year in NSW),

You'll need a contract with your nanny too; this is to protect both parties and make sure everyone knows where they stand. There's a simple template available at the end of this article.

Every Pay Period

On a weekly/fortnightly/monthly basis you'll need to create payslips to send to your nanny and lodge Single Touch Payroll with the ATO. Easy Business App allows you to do that in a couple of taps.

Quarterly Activities

You'll need to pay the ATO your withheld tax (PAYG) on a monthly or quarterly basis. Our reports make it easy to calculate this amount, and you can simple pay it through the ATO online portal for free.

And finally, you'll need to pay super to your nanny's nominated super fund on a quarterly basis — again, this can be handled really easily (and for free) through the ATO portal via the Small Business Superannuation Clearing House.

Yes, all features are available. Add your nanny's details, send payslips, even send STP files to the ATO.

No.

Unlike most of our competitors, we handle the ATO software registration automatically when you submit your first STP file, so it's one less thing for you to have to worry about.

You can easily share access to your Easy Payslip account with your partner or accountant. Simply go to ‘My Organisation’ in the app and click ‘Invite Member’ - you can invite users to access reports or even run payroll and submit STP on your behalf.

Unlike some of  our competitors, we don't charge for additional users.

Yes!

We have processed over $1 billion of payroll for small employers in Australia.

Most of our users are sole-traders or micro-businesses, often with just one employee. And we have families all across Australia using us to pay their nannies, too.

It may feel like paying a nanny is somehow "different" or "special", but actually, the processes you follow are exactly the same as your plumber is following with his apprentice.

Well, it's actually a bit simpler because you don't need an ABN. Hooray!

Yes.

We take data security incredibly seriously. We are ISO 27001 certified — the world's premier independently-audited security certification — and all your data is stored securely using best-in-class encryption right here in Australia.

We're also an ATO-approved Digital Services Provider (DSP).

You should be wary of using software from companies that are not ISO 27001 certified for sensitive data (like payroll).
