I need to write a three page report as a manager of payroll for a small organisation. The report has been requested by the human resources general manager, and should include the following areas:

• a brief overview of some of the suggestions for ensuring the security and confidentiality of payroll information
• a brief overview of some of the control measures that might be used
• the range of information that must be kept as prescribed by the fair work and employment legislation
• a brief summary of the types of taxation that needs to be withheld
• a summary of the inclusions in payroll reconciliation

I have broken the headings down to:

Security and Confidentiality

Legislation and Requirements

Authorisation and Reconciliation
