The Hidden Problem Costing
Construction Companies Time and Money
78% of Australian construction businesses struggle with payroll processing. The cause? Manual spreadsheets and generic payroll systems that don't account for the complexity of construction wages, allowances, and award compliance.
Every payroll manager knows the sinking feeling: you thought all timesheets were processed correctly, only to discover errors in allowances or award rates when you need them most. By the time Fair Work audits arrive or employees question their pay, it's too late to fix the mistakes.
These payroll issues aren't just frustrating, they're expensive. They're the difference between compliant wage processing and costly penalties.
What if you could process payroll automatically from approved timesheets, with built-in award compliance?
What if missing timesheets or incorrect rates triggered alerts before pay runs, not after?
Without online payroll software, companies face:
Award compliance risks from manual rate calculations and outdated allowances creating exposure to Fair Work penalties
Wasted admin time spending hours processing timesheets and calculating wages instead of focusing on strategic HR tasks
Manual payroll processingdraining 20 to 35 hours per week across your office teams on timesheet compilation, wage calculations, and data entry
Employee dissatisfactiondue to pay errors and delayed wage processing, especially when managing crews across multiple sites
Cash flow uncertainty from unclear labour costs and payroll surprises discovered too late when you can't do anything about them
Ready to Stop Wrestling with Payroll?
See how Varicon's online payroll software gives you automated wage processing with full award compliance from every pay run.
Construction payroll processing shouldn't require hours of spreadsheet work at week's end. It should be as simple as approving timesheets, clicking process, and knowing wages are calculated correctly.
Varicon is an online payroll software that processes construction wages automatically from approved timesheets. Your teams submit hours, allowances, and job codes on mobile-friendly timesheet tools designed for actual construction conditions (yes, it works with gloves on). Those entries flow directly into payroll calculations. You see the same information your accountant sees, in real time, from anywhere.
When payroll data is inaccurate or missing critical employee information, you get alerts. Not weeks later during an audit. Right now, while you can still correct the entries. That's the difference between processing wages accurately and scrambling to fix errors.
Here's what changes when you implement online payroll software for construction:
Your teams actually use it.
The mobile-friendly 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 submit timesheets and process wages from anywhere.
Administration time plummets.
No more end-of-week payroll processing. No more chasing supervisors for timesheets. No more compiling scattered hours into wage calculations. Your team focuses on building, not paperwork.
Your payroll accuracy improves.
Companies using Varicon report accurate, compliant wage processing that protects them during Fair Work audits and employee disputes. That's not magic. It's automation. When you can prove wages were calculated correctly, you can defend your position.
Communication gets clearer.
What were the labour costs today? Were there any overtime hours? Which jobs consumed the most wages? You don't need to wait for payroll reports. The dashboard shows everything that occurred instantly.
You spot problems while they're still small.
Real-time labour cost updates mean you catch emerging issues immediately. Real-time payroll software for construction projects shows you exactly what's happening with your wage costs. A minor overtime spike noted today is manageable. A pattern of wage overruns that you discover two months later is a crisis.
The best online payroll software doesn't just process wages. It changes behaviour. When your teams know their hours are tracked accurately, they pay closer attention to details. When you have real-time labour cost visibility, you make better decisions. Better payroll processing means better project outcomes.
Payroll Software
Everything You Need for Construction Payroll in One Platform
Varicon brings together every payroll tool civil contractors actually need
Automated Timesheet Integration
Your teams submit timesheets with hours, allowances, and job allocations 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.

Award Rate Automation
Timesheets, wage calculations, allowances, and superannuation all in one place. Everyone works from the same information. No confusion about what was paid or what's outstanding.
Intelligent Compliance Checking

Seamless Accounting 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 Completion Alerts
Set requirements for timesheet entries. When timesheets are incomplete or missing critical information, you get notified immediately. Ensure complete records before payroll processing begins.

Built for Australian Civil Contractors
Who Refuse to Waste Time on Manual Payroll
Varicon is purpose-built for civil construction companies working on earthworks, roadworks, subdivisions, and infrastructure projects across 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 to submit hours. If you're a director concerned about award compliance gaps and Fair Work penalties. 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 processing 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 workflows, different needs). It's not for massive infrastructure contractors who need custom enterprise solutions. And if you're outside Australia, you'll find platforms better suited to your local market.
But if you're an Australian civil contractor who wants to automate payroll processing, make faster decisions, and finally maintain compliant 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.'
