What it does
- Prepares your monthly bargaining council return straight from your payroll export.
- Handles your council's levies, provident or benefit fund schedules and its own forms.
- Works out levies and fund contributions from your council's gazetted rates.
- Flags missing or out-of-date employee details before you file, so the return goes in right the first time.
- Remembers your payroll layout. Confirm the columns once and next month's export reads the same way.
- Nothing downloads until you approve it, and every approval records who and when.

Frequently asked questions
Will it work with our bargaining council?
Yes. Tell us which council you fall under when you book, and we will walk you through your council's return in the demo.
Does Compliance Radar submit the return to the council?
You stay in control: you approve the return, download the files and submit them to your council. Every approval is recorded with who approved it and when.
Which payroll systems does it work with?
Any payroll that can export the month to Excel or CSV. You confirm the column layout the first time and it is remembered for the next month. Sage 300 People connects directly through its API, and we already have clients running on that connection.
