The Hidden Problem Costing
Construction Companies Time and Money
72% of Australian construction businesses struggle with payroll processing. The cause? Manual timesheets and spreadsheets that don't account for the complexity of construction wages, allowances, and award rates.
Every payroll administrator knows the sinking feeling: you thought all timesheets were submitted and accurate, only to discover errors or missing hours when you're trying to finalise pay. By the time workers query their wages or audits reveal discrepancies, it's too late to fix them easily.
These payroll issues aren't just frustrating, they're expensive. They're the difference between smooth operations and costly compliance failures.
What if you could process payroll in minutes instead of hours, with automatic award compliance?
What if timesheet errors triggered alerts before payroll runs, not after wages are paid?
Without automated payroll, companies face:
Payroll errors and underpayments from manual calculations and complex award interpretations creating compliance risks
Wasted admin time spending hours each week chasing timesheets and manually calculating wages
Manual timesheet processingdraining 15 to 25 hours per week across your admin teams on data entry, calculations, and verification
Compliance vulnerability due to incorrect award rates and missing records when Fair Work audits occur, especially when managing casual and subcontracted workers across multiple sites
Worker dissatisfaction from pay disputes and delayed wage processing discovered too late when you can't do anything about them
Ready to Stop Wrestling with Payroll?
See how Varicon's automated payroll gives you accurate wage processing for every worker, every pay period.
Payroll processing shouldn't require hours of manual calculations at week's end. It should be as simple as reviewing approved timesheets, clicking process, and knowing wages are calculated correctly.
Varicon is an automated payroll system that processes construction wages accurately and efficiently. Your site teams submit timesheets through mobile-friendly tools designed for actual construction conditions (yes, it works with gloves on). Those timesheets flow automatically into payroll with correct award rates, allowances, and penalty calculations. You review the processed wages on your dashboard. Everything is calculated correctly, in real time, from anywhere.
When payroll data is inaccurate or missing critical information, you get alerts. Not weeks later during month-end reconciliation. Right now, while you can still correct the errors. That's the difference between processing wages accurately and scrambling to fix mistakes.
Here's what changes when you implement automated payroll for construction:
Your teams actually use it.
The automated payroll system works in the real world: complex award rates, varying site allowances, changing rosters. It's designed for how construction actually works, not how software companies think it should work. Perfect for remote teams who need to process wages accurately from anywhere.
Payroll processing time plummets.
No more manual wage calculations. No more chasing missing timesheets. No more double-checking award rates and allowances. Your team focuses on running the business, not processing payroll.
Your compliance protection improves.
Companies using Varicon report accurate, auditable payroll records that protect them during Fair Work audits and wage disputes. That's not magic. It's automation. When you can prove wages were calculated correctly, you can defend your position.
Worker satisfaction gets better.
What hours did I work this week? When will I get paid? Will my allowances be included? You don't need to field constant queries. The automated payroll shows workers their submitted hours and expected pay instantly.
You spot errors while they're still fixable.
Real-time timesheet validation means you catch errors immediately. Automated payroll software for construction shows you exactly what hours are submitted. An incorrect entry noted today is fixable. A pattern of errors that you discover after wages are paid is a crisis.
The best automated payroll doesn't just calculate wages. It changes behaviour. When your teams know their hours are tracked accurately, they pay closer attention to timesheets. When you have automated processing, you make faster decisions. Better payroll means better workforce management.

Everything You Need for Construction Payroll in One Platform
Varicon brings together every payroll tool civil contractors actually need
Mobile Timesheet Capture That Actually Works
Your teams submit timesheets, record hours worked, breaks taken, and allowances earned in seconds using mobile-friendly payroll tools. The app is designed for construction workers, not office workers. Large buttons, simple interface, and it functions offline when you're in remote locations. Data syncs automatically when connectivity returns, making it ideal as a construction payroll system for remote teams.
Complete Workforce Tracking
Timesheets, wage calculations, allowances, and pay records all in one place. Everyone works from the same information. No confusion about what hours were worked or what's owed.
AI-Powered Document Management
Upload award documents, employment contracts, and supporting records. Varicon's AI finds them in seconds using natural language search. Your payroll administrator stops wasting 27 minutes hunting for information and gets back to processing wages.
Seamless Payroll Integration
Varicon connects directly with your accounting software including Xero and MYOB. Payroll data flows automatically from timesheets to accounts. No double entry. No reconciliation headaches. Your accountant gets clean data; you get accurate financials.
Intelligent Validation Alerts
Set requirements for timesheet entries. When timesheets are incomplete or hours seem unusual, you get notified immediately. Ensure accurate payroll before wages are processed.
Real-Time Labour Cost Visibility

Built for Australian Civil Contractors
Who Refuse to Guess at Wage Costs
Varicon is purpose-built for construction companies managing wages, allowances, and award compliance for workers on earthworks, roadworks, subdivisions, and infrastructure projects across Australia.
You're a perfect fit if you're a payroll administrator tired of chasing incomplete timesheets. If you're a site supervisor who needs simple tools your teams will actually use for time tracking. If you're a director concerned about wage compliance and Fair Work risks. If you're managing multiple crews simultaneously and losing track of who worked where.
Small to mid-sized construction contractors get the most value. You're big enough that manual payroll creates chaos, but not so massive that you need enterprise complexity. You want sophisticated payroll automation without the enterprise price tag or six-month implementation timeline.
This isn't for residential builders with simple hourly rates (different workflows, different needs). It's not for massive infrastructure contractors who need custom enterprise payroll solutions. And if you're outside Australia, you'll find platforms better suited to your local award systems.
But if you're an Australian construction contractor who wants to process payroll accurately, make faster decisions, and finally maintain complete wage compliance, Varicon was built for you.
'Varicon is a business with very passionate people. They are always working hard, chasing me, chasing my team. They consistently work on their roadmap and update the software. We want something to really help us build our business. I see the potential. We’ll grow and I want us to grow together.'
Ji Zhang, CBEM
'Varicon has simplified our workflows, reduced errors, and given us tools to manage projects more efficiently. We’re saving time, improving compliance, and are able to track our projects from the office in real-time.'

Frequently Asked Questions
What is automated payroll software and why do construction companies need it?
Automated payroll software streamlines wage processing and compliance for construction teams, so you pay workers accurately and on time without manual calculations.
You need it because payroll errors cost money and damage morale. Manual processing wastes hours each week and creates compliance risks. Without automation, you're vulnerable to award interpretation mistakes, superannuation errors, and Fair Work penalties. Automated payroll eliminates calculation errors, ensures compliance, and frees up your admin team. Companies report saving 15-20 hours weekly whilst reducing payroll mistakes to near zero.

Varicon was built specifically for Australian civil contractors by people who understand the industry. The automated payroll system integrates seamlessly with site data, pulling timesheets directly from daily logs and processing wages without manual entry. The key difference is simplicity. Most construction software fails because teams won't use it. Varicon's 'fat finger friendly' mobile interface is so simple that site teams actually log hours daily. It works offline and syncs automatically. No extensive training needed. Plus, you get Australian-based support who understand local construction award rates and compliance requirements.
