The first guide is for anyone thinking about moving payroll. It sets out what to gather about your current arrangement, how to keep pay running without a hitch, what to confirm about responsibilities and how to prepare your people. It’s most useful before you send an enquiry, because it helps you describe your situation accurately and decide who in your business should be part of the conversation.
- Who it’s for: anyone changing payroll arrangements
- What it covers: preparation, continuity and communication
- When to read it: before sending an enquiry
- What to do next: gather your answers

The second guide is for anyone trying to make sense of a points-based program connected to payroll. It explains the difference between pay and points, the questions to ask before taking part, and how to read the terms you’re offered. It suits employers, workers and advisers alike, and goes well with the rewards pages if you’d like a fuller explanation.

How to use the guides
Guides are general information. They can’t account for your particular business, industry, award or personal situation, and they don’t set any terms. Use them to prepare questions, note what you don’t understand and take that to a conversation with YTS or your adviser. Where a guide mentions something that’s agreed individually, treat that as a cue to ask for it in writing.
- Read them as preparation, not advice
- Note anything you don’t understand
- Bring questions to YTS or your adviser
- Ask for individually agreed terms in writing
- Check the date and context of any information
Your questions, answered.
Do the guides give advice?
No. They’re general information only and don’t provide legal, tax or financial advice. For your own circumstances, speak with a qualified professional and rely on the written terms you agree directly.
Will more guides be added?
This website doesn’t promise a publishing schedule. If there’s a topic you’d find helpful, you’re welcome to mention it when you make an enquiry.
Can I use a guide as a checklist in a meeting?
Yes, they’re written to be used that way. Take the questions, adapt them to your situation and ask for the answers in writing so you have a reliable record of what was agreed.
