Author: Meg D’Cruz Meg D’Cruz is the Director of Employment Taxes at Ryan Tax Australia. Meg’s 25‑year career spans every corner of payroll and employment tax, from hands‑on processing and operations through to leading teams across complex environments, system implementations, outsourcing models, large‑scale remediations and industry‑wide regulatory change. She has seen the evolution from cash payments, bundy cards, and manual calculations to modern payroll platforms, HRIS integrations and the shifting landscape of employment taxes and legislation. Her experience stretches across transport, construction, hospitality, retail, mining, FMCG and professional services. She is widely recognised as a trusted advisor who helps organisations cut through the noise, strengthen compliance, and build payroll environments that are stable, confident, and audit‑ready. Meg’s current focus includes Payroll Tax remediation and guiding employers through Payday Super readiness as businesses prepare for a major shift in compliance expectations. Outside of Ryan, Meg is committed to elevating the payroll profession, most recently by founding the “Payroll Leadership Collective”, a national community for payroll leaders to network, collaborate and grow together.
W orkforces have shifted since COVID. Some employees moved interstate. Others relocated regionally. Many now split their time across locations or work entirely from home. What has not changed is the employment relationship. What has changed is where the work is being performed, and that matters for payroll tax.
