Workers see every payday checked
They upload their contract once. From then on every payslip is compared with the contract and the award, and every super payment is matched to its payday.

Payday Super changed what employers owe, and when.
From 1 July 2026, super is due every time staff are paid. Workers have no easy way to check it arrived. Many small businesses only learn they are behind when the ATO contacts them.
7 days
Super now has to reach the fund within seven business days of every payday.
$5.2bn
Super that went unpaid in 2023-24, about 6.3% of what was owed, by the ATO's estimate.
60%
The SG charge can add up to this on top of the shortfall and daily interest.
Since 2025
Deliberately underpaying wages or super has been a criminal offence.
Four sign-ins. One shared record.
Workers, employers, lawyers and your own team each see what they need. When one of them acts, the others see it straight away.
Employers fix it before the ATO finds it
What is overdue, what waiting could cost and the one step that fixes it.
Lawyers get cases with conflicts screened out
Cases arrive anonymised. Names follow only once the worker agrees.
Your team sees every step
Every payment and consent lands in an audit log, with firms checked before they join.
Speaks their language
Six languages for workers, with visa rules such as student hours checked too.
Follow one missed payment through the platform.
A café in West End misses a super payment and pays Sunday shifts at the weekday rate. Here is what each person sees.
Emma's SuperTracker for Saltwater Kitchen: super for the 9 Sep pay has not arrived and is five business days late. The 26 Aug payment was $39.15 short.
From first payday to fixed, step by step.
Pick a scenario to follow the worker, the employer, a lawyer and your team through the portal.
- Step 1, Worker.
Emma uploads her contract
WorkShield reads the employer, the pay rate and the classification, then sets up the job. There are no forms to fill in.
- Step 2, Checked by WorkShield.
Every payday is checked
Payslips come in by photo, email or payroll. Super for the 9 Sep pay has not reached the fund within 7 business days.
- Step 3, Worker.
Emma finds out why
The issue shows what is missing, when it was due and how much it adds up to. The assistant explains it in plain English.
- Step 4, Worker.
She raises it with her employer
A drafted message goes to the café from inside WorkShield, with the payday details attached.
- Step 5, Employer.
Mark sees what went wrong
Her message lands in Staff messages, next to the pay run it is about. The 9 Sep run never sent super for 11 staff.
- Step 6, Employer.
He fixes it in WorkShield
One step pays what is owed, and he can see what waiting would have added.
- Step 7, Worker.
Emma sees it arrive
Her issue closes when the super is received. Nobody had to chase anyone.
- Step 1, Employer.
Mark connects his payroll
Pay runs come in from Xero, MYOB or Employment Hero, and each staff contract is kept on file.
- Step 2, Checked by WorkShield.
Each pay run is checked
Every line is compared with the award. Five casual staff are being paid the weekday rate on Sundays.
- Step 3, Employer.
He sees the cost before it grows
Back pay is worked out line by line, so he knows the exact amount to put right.
- Step 4, Employer.
He fixes it in one place
The Sunday rate is corrected and the back pay is added to the next pay run.
- Step 5, Worker.
His staff see it too
Each worker's view updates, so the problem closes before anyone has to raise it.
- Step 6, Employer.
The paperwork is ready
If super was paid late, an SG charge statement is drafted for his accountant to lodge.
- Step 1, Worker.
Emma asks for help
She can message her employer, go to the Fair Work Ombudsman or her union, or ask a lawyer without giving her name. Her evidence pack is built for her.
- Step 2, Checked by WorkShield.
Conflicts are screened
The whole firm is checked against its clients. A firm that acts for the café never sees the case.
- Step 3, Lawyer.
Olivia sees an anonymous group case
Three workers from the same café, with Sunday rates and late super, worth about $2,828.
- Step 4, Worker.
Emma agrees to share her name
Names reach a firm only after the worker says yes and the firm confirms its own check.
- Step 5, Lawyer.
Olivia takes the case
It moves to her active cases, with tasks and private notes for the firm.
- Step 6, WorkShield team.
Your team sees every step
Consents, conflict checks and payments all land in the audit log.
Made for the people doing the work.
Pay problems start at a desk, in a payroll run or on a payslip. WorkShield meets people there.
Payroll checked before it goes out
Each pay run is read line by line against the award, so a wrong rate is caught before staff are paid.
Payslips that finally make sense
A worker photographs a payslip and sees, in plain English, whether the rate and the super are right.
Legal help, with names protected
When a worker needs a lawyer, the case goes out anonymised to firms with no conflict.
Help on every screen, in plain English.
The assistant knows who is asking and which screen they are on. It answers from the same checks the screens use, so its numbers always agree with the app.
Knows the screen
Suggested questions change with the page, so people ask the right thing first.
Does the task
It drafts the message to the employer or builds the evidence pack, so the next step is one tap.
Works for every sign-in
The same assistant helps employers with pay runs and lawyers with cases.
Knows its limits
Legal and financial questions are handed to a qualified person.
Designed around the rules WorkShield has to follow.
A platform that handles pay, super and legal referrals has to earn trust from both sides. These choices are built into every screen.
Estimates, never verdicts
Money owed is shown as an estimate with the working beside it. A classification change is a prompt to check.
Names only with consent
Lawyers see an anonymised case. The worker decides when to share who they are.
Conflicts checked firm-wide
A case naming any client of a firm never reaches that firm, as the solicitors' conduct rules expect.
Private by design
Employers never learn which staff use WorkShield, and tax file numbers are never stored.
Everything on the record
Every payment and consent goes into an audit log your team can search.
Rules with dates
Award rates are versioned by effective date, so an old pay is checked against the rules of its day.
Questions you might have
