Frequently Asked Questions
Is Phoenix Payroll Single Touch Payroll compliant?
Yes, it is. More information can be found here:
www.ato.gov.au/business/single-touch-payroll/
Is Phoenix Payroll available in all levels of Financial?
No, onlyFinancial Pro for the current Desktop Subscription and Phoenix Live.
How much will it cost?
$8 per active employee per month, regardless of how many times they are paid in that month. (On top of your normal Phoenix Subscription).

- Included in a finalised pay run (even if that pay run is subsequently unlocked)
- Has had an approved leave request
- Has had an approved expense request
- Has had a published roster shift
- Has had an approved timesheet
How do I pay for it?
If you are paying a monthly Phoenix Subscription the Payroll charges will be applied to the following month’s fee.
If you are paying an annual Phoenix Subscription, you will need to supply Credit Card details for monthly billing of any payroll charges. On the anniversary of your annual subscriptions, you will be encouraged to move to monthly payments.
How can Phoenix Payroll cater for casual workers with varying hours?
Casual workers on flexible hours are handled with Timesheets – either from the WorkZone App on their device, or manually.
If I make a mistake in processing a pay run can I go back and correct it?
Yes, you will be able to change any mistakes you’ve made.
Will the pay run be able to be imported in to Financials if your financials are in a different month?
Yes, it will.
What are the benefits of using the Phoenix Payroll Software vs KeyPay directly?
- Seamless Integration with Phoenix Financial Pro,
- Simplified Billing – it gets added to your existing subscription,
- Familiar support provided by the friendly staff at AGDATA,
- Inbuilt Pastoral Award Conditions to make it easy to pay staff correctly.
I already have a KeyPay subscription, can I migrate it over to Phoenix Payroll Software?
Yes, you can. You will need to send a support ticket to the KeyPay team highlighting that you would like to move your account to Phoenix Payroll Software and the team will action this request – this process is instantaneous although the request needs to come from your ‘Admin’ user on the KeyPay account.
Is there a mobile App my employees can use?
Yes, WorkZone is an extension of the Employee Self Service portal, free to download on iOS and Android which will make it easy for your employees to submit their timesheets, claim expenses and apply for leave etc.
What Pay schedules are available?
Weekly, Fortnightly & Monthly only. This is done to align with the ATO Tax Tables.
What are my options for paying Super?
You will have the ability to report via your current super clearing house or you can automate your super payments with Phoenix Payroll Software.
Can Phoenix Payroll Software do automated pay runs?
Yes. If you have automatic payments coming out of the bank you can continue that way & Phoenix Payroll can handle the processing of the pay run, payslips & STP compliance.

Testimonials
Thank you for your support today. It is great to have the Jobkeeper payments sorted. I love the payroll system, especially the superannuation.
Dianna MartinJamestown, SA
Recently we've moved into paying wages and the timesheet and STP is amazingly efficient. The software has grown so much to make bookkeeping so much easier and time efficient. I have had experience with other financial and timesheet reporting programs in other businesses I have been involved with, but Phoenix is so comprehensive that we won't be moving away from this suite of tools.

Payroll has become a challenge recently with the changes in STP and I did find it daunting as I had never used a payroll program previously. Not used to these changes, having an integrated payroll program with Phoenix makes everything stress free and simplified. As the old saying goes, time is money and being able to run reports as quickly as possible as per request from the accountant is what I love the most about Px. There are a range of different reports available all within several clicks of a button. Also, the fill function, genius, another super time saver!
