      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 types of payments does Wrkr support for wage disbursements?

Wrkr supports EFT, BPAY, PayID and direct debit, giving employers flexibility in how wages and payroll disbursements are processed each pay cycle.

How is this different from just using our bank directly?

Wrkr connects wage payments and disbursements into the same workflow as your STP reporting and super obligations. Rather than managing payments separately through your bank, everything runs through one platform with clear visibility into payment status across each pay run.

Who is this product for?

It's designed for employers, payroll platforms and enterprise partners who want to simplify how wage payments and disbursements are processed, without building or maintaining their own payment infrastructure.

What visibility do I have over payment status?

Wrkr gives you a clear view of disbursement activity throughout each pay cycle, including what's been paid, what's processing and what requires attention, so your team isn't chasing payment status manually.
