The payroll deadline for timesheets for pay period, ending Friday 29 September will change due to the upcoming public holidays in Victoria, Queensland and New South Wales.

Upcoming Public Holidays

Victoria (VIC): Friday, 29 September 2023 (AFL Grand Final)

New South Wales (NSW): Monday, 2 October 2023 (Labour Day)

Upcoming public holiday affects payroll deadlines

Changes to payroll deadlines

In NSW and QLD	Due
Employees must complete and submit timesheets and leave applications	Thursday, 28 September
Managers must approve timesheets and leave	Friday 29 September

In VIC only – due to the public holiday on Friday 29 September, managers will need to ensure timesheets/leave are submitted and approved prior to Friday 29 September and/or ensure approvals are completed by Monday 2 October. If approving on Monday, please note that payroll will not be available to assist with any approval issues.

All payroll adjustments for prior periods, cash out of leave and incentive/bonus payments are to be submitted to payroll by 5pm on Wednesday 27 September to allow time for processing.

All employee changes (i.e. reporting changes, higher duties, secondments, position changes, DAX changes) are to be processed as per usual. Please ensure all changes are submitted as early as possible to allow time for processing.

*It’s important to note, delegations need to be in place 24 hours prior to employees submitting timesheets/leave requests to ensure approvals flow through to the correct person. Therefore, delegations are to be set up and in place by COB on Monday 25 September.

Please note, payroll will not have time to do additional follow up for non-approved timesheets due to a shorter processing time.

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to People & Wellbeing on 07 3900 5460, or submit a request via #TeamPossible Support Hub.
