Tailored to you
Whether it’s weekly, fortnightly, four-weekly, or monthly, shift period options auto-calculate overtime. This removes the mess of calculating hours worked, and lets you refocus your attention on more important tasks.
For every payroll scenario
You can select from a list of pre-built industry awards from our library or use our pay conditions engine to build your own Enterprise Agreement, ensuring your payroll is processed to your unique payroll scenario.
Modern awards don’t have to be complex.
Built-in rules
Remove manual calculations of higher duty payments and allowances using our built in rules associated with awards and Employment Agreements. Calculate overtime across a defined period, automatically accrue time in lieu, and so much more.
Pay above the award
We have you covered. All our pay categories are linked, so when an employee’s base rate changes, all other penalties under the relevant award are automatically updated.
Built-in rule tester
Why wait until after a pay run is finalised to view the final cost? Interpret employee timesheets, calculate costs at any time, and view what pay conditions will apply.
Pay conditions
If employees accrue Rostered Days Off, or Time Off in Lieu of overtime, automate these accruals with rule sets using our pay conditions engine. Maintain correct balances automatically and let us do the heavy lifting for you, giving you the peace of mind you should have for every pay run.
Rule conditions
Do you pay different wage rates, penalties, allowances, or overtime based on location, cost centres, day of the week, or public holidays? Perhaps you have shift workers? Automatically calculate wages based on specific pay rules and spend less time on manual processes.

Award interpretation software FAQs
An award interpretation software helps employers calculate and interpret the various pay rates, allowances, and other employee entitlements that apply to their employees under the relevant modern awards or enterprise agreements. The award interpretations function is often found on a workforce management software, or a payroll system. Having automated award interpretations simplifies wage calculations and ensures that employees are paid correctly and in accordance with the relevant modern award or enterprise bargaining agreements (EBA).
Our payroll software manages its database of modern awards and award rates automatically. Employers can finalise a pay run according to a specific industry award. The software then uses this information to calculate the correct pay rates and entitlements for each employee based on the relevant award or agreement.
Benefits to using an automated award interpreter includes increased accuracy, compliance confidence with payroll laws and regulations, and time-savings. By automating the process of wage calculations, your employees are always paid the correct rate and for the hours they’ve worked.
