Award interpretation
We stay ahead of awards so you can run the business.
We utilise modern software to accurately administer awards and their shift penalties and overtime rates. When you come on board with APS Payroll, we make it our responsibility to stay ahead of the awards and any changes or updates.
Have you given thought to the following?
Every award classification includes variables such as:
- Overtime
- Pay classification (e.g. Cook grade 1 or Cook grade 2)
- Public holidays
- Allowances (tools, site conditions, safety wear, meals, vehicle, uniform)
- and many more
Once set up, APS Payroll takes care of award interpretation — leaving you to do what you do best: run your business.
Awards
The minimum wages and conditions an employee is entitled to are set out in awards (also known as modern awards). Awards do not apply when a business has an enterprise agreement or other registered agreement covering the employee.
Awards apply depending on the industry or the job. Enterprise awards apply to specific businesses.
Finding the right award
There are 122 (subject to change) industry and occupation awards that cover most people working in Australia. We have the industry knowledge to show you the right award and tax brackets that apply to you and your employees.
