What we know
You're Not Alone
Running a business means juggling people, payroll, compliance and everything in between.
Even well-managed businesses can miss something. A pay rate changes. An award is applied incorrectly. A process that worked when you had five employees no longer works when you have fifteen.
The businesses that avoid costly problems aren't perfect. They have the right systems, regular reviews and trusted advice. That's where we come in.
Our HR & Payroll Health Check gives you clarity on where you stand today, and confidence that your people practices will support your business as it grows.

About
Jen Perrin
BBus (HR) MAHRI ยท HR & Payroll Advisor
With more than 13 years' experience across HR, payroll, operations and practice management, I help small businesses create clarity, structure and confidence in the way they manage their people.
I started Kindred HR because small businesses deserve the same quality of HR and payroll expertise that larger businesses take for granted, without the overhead of a full-time hire, and without the corporate price tag. My approach is practical, direct, and grounded in the real world of small business.
- ●Practical over perfect. Thoughtful support that actually helps.
- ●Clear, not complicated. Straightforward advice without the jargon.
- ●People focused, business driven. What works for your people works for the business.

Why it matters
Why Small Business Compliance Matters
More than $358 million in unpaid wages was recovered for Australian workers during 2024-25. For many small businesses, payroll errors aren't intentional. They often result from complex awards, employee classifications and changing workplace obligations.
The cost of getting it wrong can be significant, with penalties of up to $109,200 per contravention for smaller companies, alongside back pay, interest and reputational damage. Getting your payroll and HR foundations right from the start is almost always less costly than fixing problems later.
You don't have to
navigate this alone.
Strong people foundations. Better business outcomes.
