Inside Payroll: Where Things Can Go Wrong

**Inside Payroll: Where Things Go Wrong** *** Most of the time, payroll looks fine. The system runs. The reports balance. Nothing obvious stands out. *** But as we’ve seen time and time again… that doesn’t always mean it’s right. *** This is a relaxed session to step back and talk about what’s really going on inside payroll systems: • Where things can quietly go wrong • Why issues don’t always show up in reports • How the same rules can lead to different outcomes • What most people never think to check *** No heavy legislation. No technical overload. Just a practical, honest conversation about how payroll actually behaves in the real world. *** If you work in payroll, bookkeeping, HR or finance — or you’re responsible for getting payroll right — this will be a valuable discussion. *** Come along, grab some lunch, and be part of the conversation. Early bird (until Friday evening on 24th April 2026): $79🎟 Standard: $97. Prices are plus GST. Email [askarin@payrollwhizzards.com.au](mailto:askarin@payrollwhizzards.com.au) for payment details

Women in Projects Australia presents: Leading Beyond the Script

Kick off 6pm for Nibbles and networking. Welcome at 6:30pm and then dive into our session. Our speaker, Aarti, is a senior technology and cybersecurity professional with over twenty years of experience across global teams, and the founder of Elevate with Aarti, a coaching practice for high-capacity professionals who are delivering at a high level but making decisions from an instruction set they never chose. Lead Beyond the Script Most high-performing professionals are not struggling because they lack skill or ambition. They are struggling because the internal instruction set they are operating from was written by the system rather than by themselves. This talk names that pattern, and what becomes possible when you examine it. Question Think about the last time you held back a perspective in a meeting. What were you calculating at that moment, and who taught you to calculate it? Thank you to our sponsors escient, PMI Sydney Chapter and The Commons.
