Boardstatute

A payroll diligence and exception workspace for Australian employers that reconciles actual pay, hours, classifications, awards, loadings, allowances, overtime, leave, deductions, and super obligations against effective-dated rule candidates, routes payroll and employment-law review, and prepares a signed bounded board packet while keeping source record, worker classification, rule applicability, calculated entitlement, payroll correction, payment, super contribution, director diligence, legal conclusion, regulator finding, remediation, and compliance outcome separate.

The case

Australia's wage-underpayment criminal offense and 2026 Payday Super change create board-level urgency, but the input overstates a universal personal-criminal-liability and “no-underpayment attestation” product. Criminal liability depends on statutory elements and facts; a director signature does not make payroll lawful or create a court-accepted artifact. Boardstatute surfaces exceptions and diligence evidence for qualified payroll, employment-law, finance, and board review. A clean rules scan cannot prove every award, enterprise agreement, classification, roster, time record, allowance, super contribution, or employee is complete. UK and other jurisdictions are outside the first scope unless separately researched.

Who pays — and why

An Australian CFO, payroll leader, people executive, company secretary, risk owner, or board committee overseeing payroll governance with qualified workplace-law support.

What it unlocks
An effective-dated rules registry separating legislation, award, enterprise agreement, contract and policy, classification, base rate, loading, allowance, overtime, penalty, leave, deduction, super obligation, effective date, source, reviewer, interpretation, and correction
A worker-period evidence record linking employment status, classification and level, location, roster, time and attendance, pay code and amount, allowance, leave, deduction, super basis and contribution, source completeness, dispute, and correction
A diligence lifecycle distinguishing automated exception, payroll review, employee or manager evidence, legal review, correction calculation, payroll adjustment, back payment, super payment, board review, director statement, external assurance, regulator inquiry, finding, remediation, appeal, and correction

Temporal window

The supplied 2025 offense start and July 2026 super change create immediate governance work.

Buyer persona

CFO, payroll, risk, and board roles have a concrete oversight obligation and high downside.

5
Convergence

Three cross-references, one inbound connection, and three direct connections show a coherent payroll-governance cluster.

Why it scored well

The source confirms Australia's current wage-underpayment offense, a July 2026 super reform, operational payroll-compliance competitors, and a board-level governance buyer not emphasized by those products.

What's holding it back

Legal liability is fact-specific, award and agreement interpretation is complex, competitors already handle wage remediation, source completeness is hard, the signed-artifact claim is overbroad, and no structural copying cost is proven.
