What is Single Touch Payroll (STP) (Australia)?

The Australian Taxation Office's digital payroll reporting system that requires employers to report employee wages, PAYG withholding, and superannuation information to the ATO each time they run payroll, replacing the old end-of-year reporting process.

Why it matters in hiring

Single Touch Payroll (STP) (Australia) comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
