HR and payroll platforms are essential for running a business. But when it comes to employer sponsorship and immigration obligations, they fall short. Complize exists to fill that gap.
Below is a side-by-side comparison that shows exactly what Complize provides that most HR and payroll systems do not.

Why This Matters
Most visa compliance failures come from one of three things:
- Data that goes out of date
- Lack of internal alerts
- Missed steps in legal reporting
These gaps often sit unnoticed until a problem arises. A missed expiry date. An unreported change in duties. An audit request with no documentation to support past actions.
Complize gives your team a clear, structured system that helps prevent these issues. It works alongside your existing HR and payroll platforms, not instead of them.
Who Needs This
If you sponsor even a handful of visa holders, these gaps apply. Our clients include:
-
Aged care providers with more than 100 sponsored staff
-
National retailers managing diverse visa types
-
Construction and tech companies with fast-moving teams
-
Legal, HR, and risk teams needing shared visibility
They all had the same problem. Spreadsheets, incomplete records, and growing legal risk. Complize gave them one place to manage it properly.
Key Benefits
-
Fewer errors: Staff do not need to guess what is required
-
Clear responsibility: Alerts and tasks go to the right people
-
Better defensibility: You can show what was done and when
-
Less stress: No more chasing spreadsheets or reacting to last-minute visa issues
HRIS and payroll systems are not designed to manage visa risk. Complize is.
It connects the legal, operational, and compliance dots in one platform, helping teams do the right thing without extra admin.
If your current systems do not give you a full picture of visa status, obligations, and reporting needs, Complize can help.
