Awards & Compliance

Award interpretation is the calculation of how much someone should be paid, for a specific period of time, for the rates and conditions of your employees.

Those businesses who have introduced Annualised Wage Arrangements are reminded that they will need to conduct an ‘audit’ on the anniversary of the date the business entered into an Annualised Wage Arrangement with an employee(s), in order to comply with their obligations. An audit requires an employer to compare the remuneration actually paid to the employee under the Annualised Wage Arrangement against the amount the employee would have been paid if simply paid according to the relevant Award. Powerful reports in Humanforce can allow you to complete this audit simply, using data that has been automatically captured, then verified by your employees.

We can! Our customers face some of the most complex award requirements and compliance needs in the world. That’s why we’ve built our system to be highly configurable and to suit any type of award or compliance requirements.

Most payroll errors have their roots in poor record-keeping, from employee onboarding through to the processing of individual timesheets. Wrongly classifying workers during the onboarding phase can lead to award non-compliance and incorrect wage calculations. Accurate time and attendance tracking can also cut down on errors. With a system like Humanforce, you can integrate modern awards information to ensure that the hours worked are correctly logged as regular hours or overtime. Since different awards can have complex overtime, break and allowance requirements, a workforce management software can help you avoid paying workers the wrong rates (plus, you’ll receive an alert if any potential compliance issues arise).

Absolutely. We know it happens. People forget to renew or submit their latest licences or registrations, and all of a sudden, it’s your company that’s on the hook. With Humanforce, you can protect sensitive information while ensuring everyone’s details are up-to-date for every shift.

If you’re still relying on pen-and-paper timesheets or Excel calculations, it’s easy for mistakes to slip through: a staff member enters the wrong time, HR reads the wrong column, or someone’s ‘7’ looks like a ‘1’. Electronic attendance systems create infallible records. The Humanforce Mobile App, for example, can allow your staff to clock in and out as soon as they are on the premises. You can relax, knowing that you’ll always have the correct time and attendance data once payroll processing begins.
