Mackay Safety Drives Revolutionary Payroll Innovation

Mackay Safety has been nominated for the Expansion into New Markets Award – sponsored by Capricornia Pumped Hydro – at the upcoming 2025 Resource Industry Network (RIN) Awards. The nomination recognises their innovative payroll integration tool within the 4P Forms mobile platform, which is transforming industry data management.

Designed to digitise and streamline critical business records, 4P Forms enables workers to submit timesheets, pre-start forms, service sheets, issue reporting, tasking, supervisor notifications and more directly from the field, even offline. The platform integrates smoothly with payroll dashboards and accounting software, allowing payroll administrators to review and correct data in real-time before import, dramatically reducing errors and saving valuable time.

“We built a secure integration with a payroll dashboard that combines timesheet data from 4P Forms with employee details from the financial system, such as employee type and pay items.

“This integration breaks down the payroll data so the payroll administrator can view it in real time,” said Mick Storch, Owner and Managing Director of Mackay Safety.

“What this allows you to do is, check it all, approve it, and then import it back into the financial system 100% right – with no stress.

“The advantage being it’s universal… a entire business can be completely paperless in the true sense of that – and we’ve done it.”

From its origins addressing compliance gaps on Australian mine sites 15 years ago to evolving into a comprehensive operational tool, Mackay Safety is reshaping how industries capture and manage data.

Key contributors to the project include Karen Trezise (Office Manager), Ben Lewis (Principal Developer), Don Irvine (Managing Director of CQ Exploration), and Mick Storch.
