The Hidden Problem Costing
Construction Companies Time and Money
73% of Australian construction businesses struggle with payroll complexity. The cause? Manual timesheets and generic payroll systems that don't account for the unique demands of construction wages, allowances, and compliance requirements.
Every payroll manager knows the sinking feeling: you thought all hours were captured and allowances calculated correctly, only to discover errors when pay runs are processed. By the time disputes arise or audits happen, it's too late to reconstruct what should have been paid.
These payroll issues aren't just frustrating, they're expensive. They're the difference between compliant operations and costly penalties.
What if you could process payroll automatically from site timesheets, with all allowances calculated correctly?
What if compliance issues triggered alerts before pay runs are finalised, not after?
Without automated construction payroll, companies face:
Payroll errors and disputes from manual timesheet entry and incorrect allowance calculations creating employee dissatisfaction and compliance risks
Wasted admin time spending hours each week processing timesheets and calculating allowances instead of focusing on strategic tasks
Manual payroll processingdraining 15 to 25 hours per week across your admin teams on timesheet compilation, allowance calculations, and data entry
Compliance vulnerability due to poor record-keeping and missing documentation when audits arise, especially when managing casual workers across multiple sites
Cash flow uncertainty from unclear labour costs and wage tracking discovered too late when you can't do anything about them
Ready to Stop Wasting Hours on Payroll?
See how Varicon's construction payroll software gives you automated wage processing for every worker, every site.
Construction payroll shouldn't require hours of manual calculations at week's end. It should be as simple as approving timesheets, knowing allowances are calculated correctly, and processing wages with confidence.
Varicon is construction payroll software that automates wage processing from site timesheets. Your site teams log hours on mobile-friendly timesheet tools designed for actual construction conditions (yes, it works with gloves on). Those entries flow automatically into payroll calculations. You see labour costs in real time, allowances are calculated correctly, and pay runs process seamlessly.
When a pay run is incomplete or missing critical employee data, you get alerts. Not weeks later during an audit. Right now, while you can still capture the hours and verify the details. That's the difference between processing payroll accurately and scrambling to fix errors.
Here's what changes when you implement construction payroll software:
Your teams actually use it.
The mobile-friendly timesheet and payroll tools work in the real world: dusty sites, workers wearing gloves, patchy internet connection. It's designed for how construction actually works, not how software companies think it should work. Perfect for remote teams who need to track hours and process wages from anywhere.
Payroll processing time plummets.
No more manual timesheet entry. No more chasing supervisors for hours worked. No more calculating allowances manually. Your team focuses on running projects, not processing payroll.
Your compliance improves.
Companies using Varicon report complete, accurate payroll records that protect them during audits and disputes. That's not magic. It's automation. When you can prove what was paid and why, you can defend your position.
Labour cost visibility gets clearer.
What are your labour costs this week? Are you tracking to budget? Which sites are over on hours? You don't need to wait for month-end reports. The payroll dashboard shows everything instantly.
You spot wage issues while they're still small.
Real-time labour cost tracking means you catch emerging issues immediately. Real-time construction payroll software shows you exactly what you're spending on wages. A minor overtime pattern noted today is manageable. A pattern of cost overruns that you discover two months later is a crisis.
The best construction payroll software doesn't just process wages. It changes behaviour. When your teams know their hours are tracked accurately, they pay closer attention to time management. When you have real-time labour costs, you make better decisions. Better payroll means better project outcomes.
Civil Construction Software
Everything You Need for Construction Payroll Processing in One Platform
Varicon brings together every payroll tool civil contractors actually need
Mobile Timesheet Capture That Actually Works
Your teams log hours, breaks, and site attendance in seconds using mobile-friendly timesheet 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 Project Tracking
Timesheets, allowances, leave entitlements, and wage reports all in one place. Everyone works from the same information. No confusion about what was worked or what's owed.
AI-Powered Document Management
Upload award rates, enterprise agreements, and employment contracts. Varicon's AI finds them in seconds using natural language search. Your payroll manager stops wasting 27 minutes hunting for information and gets back to processing wages.
Seamless Accounting Integration
Varicon connects directly with your payroll and accounting software including Xero and MYOB. Timesheet data flows automatically from site to payroll. No double entry. No reconciliation headaches. Your payroll provider gets clean data; you get accurate wage costs.
Intelligent Timesheet Alerts
Set requirements for timesheet entries. When timesheets are incomplete or missing critical information, you get notified immediately. Ensure accurate payroll before wages are processed.
Real-Time Dashboard Visibility
See every project's labour costs at a glance with live payroll monitoring for construction contractors. Hours worked, allowances earned, leave taken, and wage costs all tracked separately. Updates automatically as timesheets are logged. No waiting for end-of-week reports.

Built for Australian Civil Contractors
Who Refuse to Waste Time on Manual Payroll
Varicon is purpose-built for civil construction companies managing wages for site workers, supervisors, and subcontractors across earthworks, roadworks, subdivisions, and infrastructure projects throughout Australia.
You're a perfect fit if you're a payroll manager 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 payroll compliance and wage disputes. If you're running multiple projects simultaneously and losing track of labour costs on each site.
Small to mid-sized civil 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 (different award structures, 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 employment laws.
But if you're an Australian civil contractor who wants to automate payroll processing, make faster decisions about labour costs, and finally maintain accurate wage records, 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.'
