Is my payslip data private when using this scanner?

Yes, 100%. The payslip scanner runs entirely in your browser using client-side OCR technology. Your file is never uploaded, stored, or transmitted to any server. All processing happens on your device.

What file formats does the payslip scanner support?

The scanner supports PDF files (both digital and scanned), as well as image files (JPG, PNG). On mobile devices, you can also take a photo of your payslip directly using your camera.

What does the payslip scanner check?

The scanner checks for all 13 legally required items, validates your hourly rate against the national minimum wage ($24.10/hr), verifies the superannuation rate meets the 12% SG requirement, checks tax withholding is reasonable, cross-validates that gross minus tax minus deductions equals net pay, and validates the employer ABN.

What should I do if my payslip is missing required items?

First raise it with your employer. If they don't fix it, contact the Fair Work Ombudsman on 13 13 94 or lodge a complaint at fairwork.gov.au. Missing payslip items can attract penalties of up to $19,800 per breach.
