What this update is
This is the standard post-federal-budget compliance update. When the finance minister delivers the federal budget, the Flexi compliance desk publishes what changed, when it applies, what Flexi has rolled out across customer tenants, and what action — if any — HR and payroll teams need to take.
For the current fiscal cycle, the specific numbers below are pending the budget announcement and the first of the post-budget customer rollouts.
Structure of every compliance update
Every update in this series follows the same shape — so HR and payroll leaders know exactly where to look.
1. What changed
A precise summary of every rule that moves — WHT slabs, EOBI rates, PESSI thresholds, minimum wage by province, statutory leave entitlements.
2. When it applies
Effective dates matter. Some changes apply from 1 July. Some apply retrospectively to 1 July of the prior year. Some apply from the date of the Finance Act being passed. Flexi calls this out unambiguously.
3. What Flexi has rolled out
The updates the platform team has applied across all customer tenants — WHT slab tables updated, rate tables refreshed, payslip templates adjusted.
4. What HR and payroll teams need to do
Typically nothing. Occasionally a setting to confirm on Flexi HQ, or a disclosure to send to employees.
