Wrkr has acquired 100% of PaidRight, expanding its compliance capability beyond superannuation and further strengthening its position as a trusted workforce compliance platform for Australian employers of all sizes.
The acquisition was approved by Wrkr shareholders at the General Meeting held on 29 January 2026 and completed on 5 February 2026.
This milestone supports Wrkr’s Phase 2 growth strategy, extending its compliance coverage from superannuation into payroll accuracy and pay compliance, two areas that are increasingly inseparable for employers navigating rising regulatory expectations.
Building on Wrkr’s compliance-first platform
“The acquisition of PaidRight will underpin our second compliance segment of ‘pay’, moving the Wrkr Platform beyond superannuation, continuing to progress the one-stop shop compliance vision to life. The team at PaidRight and their considerable intellectual property is a real differentiator when combined with Wrkr’s scale and reach.”
Trent Lund, Wrkr CEO.
Expanding compliance capability into payroll accuracy
PaidRight brings an award-winning payroll compliance platform, developed through extensive research and engineering, including work originating from CSIRO’s Data61. The platform is trusted by some of Australia’s best-known employers across highly regulated industries to assess pay outcomes against Awards and Enterprise Agreements at scale.
PaidRight’s technology enables organisations to identify underpayment and overpayment risk, validate payroll outcomes and demonstrate compliance with confidence, across highly complex workforces and large data sets.
Together, Wrkr and PaidRight extend compliance coverage across the hire-to-retire lifecycle. From onboarding and superannuation through to payroll validation and assurance, the combined platform supports a more proactive, defensible approach to workforce compliance, reducing risk and moving employers away from reactive, one-off remediation.
A complementary acquisition with shared foundations
Wrkr and PaidRight share long-standing origins, with the two businesses connected from their early stages.
Wrkr CEO, Trent Lund, was a board member of PaidRight, providing continuity across leadership, strategy and product direction. That shared history and alignment around compliance-first, purpose-built technology underpins the decision to bring the two organisations together.
What this means for Australian employers
With PaidRight now part of the Wrkr brand, customers can expect continued investment in compliance capability, deeper platform integration and an expanded suite of tools designed to make pay and super compliance more accurate, visible and easier to manage.
Wrkr remains focused on helping Australian employers meet their obligations with confidence, using technology that is practical, scalable and built for the realities of modern workforce compliance.
