      My experience with Wrkr has been very positive. I’ve been consistently impressed by the team’s responsiveness and high level of service. Setting up my account was straightforward, and I really value how easy it is to manage and pay super contributions through the platform. Overall, it’s been a smooth and reliable experience.

Ron
Wrkr Customer

         We joined Wrkr as soon as we could.  Setting up our company and our employees on the platform was straightforward and we have already manually loaded our first contribution.  We always pay our Superannuation obligations on the same day as our payroll so switching from loading data to the ATO Portal to the WRKR Pay portal was easy.

Finance Manager

      We were stuck and were thankfully able to turn to Wrkr as recommended by our professional body Institute of Certified Bookkeepers for a solution. I was able to set up an account for our client easily online. The experience was pain-free and straight forward, and we were able to successfully set up employees and submit super within a couple of days. Thank you Wrkr. You really helped us through a very tricky situation.

     Wrkr has been the only service I’ve been able to find that actually fits my business model as I only need to pay superannuation for a few contractors each month.The set up process was really easy

Rebecca
Business Owner

      Wrkr made the switch ahead of the ATO Small Business Clearing House closure straightforward. As a small business with 5–10 employees, I didn’t want to move accounting systems or pay enterprise-level fees. Setup was clear, the checklist was easy to follow, and once live, running contributions has been simple and smooth. It’s now easier than the ATO clearing house.

Frequently asked questions
What is Single Touch Payroll and do I need to use it?

Single Touch Payroll is an ATO requirement that means employers must report payroll information including wages, tax and super directly to the ATO each time they run payroll. It applies to all Australian employers. Wrkr lets you lodge STP files directly to the ATO alongside your super workflows, so both obligations are managed in one place.

How does Wrkr lodge STP files to the ATO?

Wrkr operates as an ATO-compliant gateway, meaning STP files are submitted directly through Wrkr to the ATO. Each submission is tracked with a clear status and timestamped record, so you have visibility into what's been lodged and when.

What happens if there are errors in my STP file?

Wrkr includes built-in validation that checks for issues before submission. If errors are identified, you can see exactly what needs to be fixed before lodging, reducing the risk of rejected or incorrect STP reports reaching the ATO.

Can I manage STP and super from the same platform?

Yes. STP reporting sits alongside payroll payments and super contributions within Wrkr, so your team doesn't need to jump between systems to manage the key obligations each pay cycle.
