All-in-one AU/NZ platform

Payroll Metrics for AU/NZ payroll: rostering strength, depth to confirm

Payroll Metrics is an all-in-one AU/NZ payroll platform with advanced integrated rostering, multiple award/EBA support via custom work patterns, and a comprehensive security certification set (ISO 27001, 27701, 9001).

Payroll Metrics offers advanced integrated rostering and supports multiple awards and EBAs via custom work patterns and dynamic rosters – a genuine strength for organisations with complex shift-based scheduling needs.

It holds a notably comprehensive set of security certifications – ISO 27001:2022, ISO 27701:2019, and ISO 9001:2015 – hosted in a Microsoft Azure Tier 1 Australian data centre with geo-redundancy.

Payroll Metrics supports both AU and NZ employers within its all-in-one SaaS platform; organisations with significant NZ operations should evaluate the depth of its Holidays Act handling directly, and confirm whether it offers a fully managed, end-to-end processing option alongside self-service SaaS.

What's involved in moving off Payroll Metrics?

Moving off Payroll Metrics usually means carrying complex rosters and work patterns across as well as payroll.

  • Rostering and work patterns – the rosters, custom work patterns and dynamic rostering your managers rely on, and how they'll carry across
  • Award and EBA setup – awards and EBAs configured through work patterns, documented before they're rebuilt and tested
  • Security requirements – the certifications and hosting your organisation expects – Payroll Metrics holds ISO 27001, 27701 and 9001 – and how the new provider compares
  • Year-to-date balances and STP – earnings, tax and super for the year to date, so STP continues without duplicate income statements
  • Parallel runs and timing – how many pay cycles to run side by side, and whether to switch mid-year or at 1 July

Build agreed before you commit, two parallel pay runs minimum, and most projects reach first go-live in 3–4 months (indicative) – how Affinity migration works →
