Start free trial Frequently asked questions What is Award Interpretation? Award Interpretation is the process of software analysing a worker’s timesheet, and calculating the amount of money they should be paid per hour. Because these pay rules are contained in Fair Work’s Awards, the process is called “Award Interpretation”. What is a modern award or modern pay award? Modern awards are the pay award rules for workers in specific industries. They are set by the Fair Work Commission, and typically are for lower-paid industries, or industries that employ large numbers of people. Remember, if you employ someone covered by an award, the pay awards apply, not the minimum wage rules. Typically, businesses will use award interpretation software to calculate employee award rates for their workers because of the complexity of pay awards. Award interpretation software (pay award) is part of workforce management software (workforce management solutions / employee management software), which also often includes timesheet software and award onboarding software. What award interpretation software templates does Tanda have? Tanda has over 30 individually managed employee award rates templates, including awards for major industries in Australia, like the Hospitality Industry Award (HIGA), General Retail Industry Award (GRIA), Social, Community, Home Care and Disability Services Award (SCHADS), Restaurant Industry Award (RIA), Aged Care Award, Pharmacy Award and Children’s Services Award. If you’re looking to clarify our award coverage, get in touch and we can go through our complete suite of awards.Tanda’s award interpretation software (pay award) templates work by calculating the employee award rates of workers based on their hours worked. Businesses use our onboarding software to register their employees in the award interpretation software (pay award), the hours are clocked and registered in our timesheet software (timesheet management), and then exported to payroll. What is an Enterprise Bargaining Agreement? An Enterprise Bargaining Agreement is a deal that a business makes with a union that sets the pay and conditions for their workers, instead of an award. Provided that the deal doesn’t undercut the pay and conditions of the award, it will apply. Tanda’s award interpretation (pay award) can be custom built to handle your Enterprise Bargaining Agreement as part of our workforce management software (workforce management solutions / employee management software) suite. Can Tanda’s award interpretation handle EBAs? Yes, Tanda’s award interpretation can handle Enterprise Bargaining Agreements. If you get in touch with us, we’re happy to help implement the conditions of your EBA into Tanda. We deal with a large number of clients with specific EBA’s that we’ve implemented into Tanda. How does Tanda handle base rate increases / birthdays? Tanda closely follows the Fair Work Commission’s wage rulings and implements these into our award interpretation software. This means that unlike other workforce management software (workforce management solutions / employee management software), pay rates are automatically updated after they change, and you don’t have to do a thing. Likewise, employees are automatically moved to their new relevant pay rate on their birthday, if it changes their classification. How are employee award rates set? Every year, the Fair Work Commission, a Federal Government body, will sit down and determine the employee award rates for different industrial awards. These rulings on employee award rates occur throughout the year, although most employee award rates are set just before the conclusion of the financial year.The Commission is made up of people appointed by the Government. It takes submissions from economists, unions, and business groups about pay award rates. Unions will typically ask for large employee award rates (pay awards) increases, and businesses will ask for lower or no increase to employee award rates (pay award). Lately, the Commission has picked the middle ground between these groups, increasing employee award rates by a moderate amount. Which award applies to me? The best way to confirm which award applies to you is to use Fair Work’s website. Remember, multiple awards can apply across different employees in your business. However, the award interpretation that applies is mostly intuitive. Retail employees are covered by the retail award, for example. But there are some exceptions, so you should always clarify which award interpretation (pay award) applies. How does workforce management software (workforce management solutions) handle award interpretation? Workforce management solutions (workforce management software / employee management software) can encompass the process of handling how employees work, from onboarding software, award interpretation software, timesheet software and right through to payroll. Some workforce management software (workforce management solutions / employee management software) will include all of these features from start to finish, whereas others might include some of them – like onboarding software, award interpretation software and payroll, for example.Award interpretation is complicated and workforce management software (workforce management solutions) is typically built with this in mind. Each managed award interpretation template is built to handle thousands of different rules. Businesses use onboarding software to register employees, timesheet software to register their hours, before the data is placed into award interpretation software. Do I need to use onboarding software to use Tanda’s award interpretation (pay award) software? Yes, you’ll need to enter an employee’s details into Tanda’s onboarding software in order to use our built in award interpretation. Our onboarding software is intuitive, easy to use, but importantly crucial to storing their details in our employee management software and paying them. Should I use an employee management software award interpretation or manually calculate pay? You should always use an electronic award interpretation. Manually calculating pay awards might sound simple, but with hundreds of different rules and different entitlements, it’s easy to make a mistake. The Fair Work Ombudsman often checks if employee management software with award interpretation is in use when it audits businesses, and looks more thoroughly at businesses that pay awards manually. Using employee management software that has timesheet management / timesheet software is always a great idea to make sure your time is accurately recorded and that your employees are paid correctly. A proper workforce management solution (workforce management software / employee management software) should always pay awards based on timesheet software or timesheet management that is digitally based. What is workforce management software (workforce management solutions), and how does it interact with timesheet software, pay awards and onboarding software? Workforce management software (also called workforce management solutions / employee management software) is the catch-all term for all forms of software that are used to manage employees. It will regularly include pay awards or award interpretation software, onboarding software, pay award or pay awards, timesheet software / timesheet management, all as part of its workforce management solutions. What kind of timesheet software (timesheet management) does Tanda have to manage its pay awards? Tanda’s employee time clock automatically exports data into timesheet management / timesheet software. The timesheet management program then uses Tanda’s award interpretation software to calculate exact pay and entitlements for the worker. The timesheet management program records the exact day and times the employee works. The timesheet management program keeps these on hand for the required seven years. The data is then exported straight from the timesheet management program to your payroll system. {\"@context\":\"https://schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is Award Interpretation?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Award Interpretation is the process of software analysing a worker’s timesheet, and calculating the amount of money they should be paid per hour.

Often getting the basics right in your business is key to driving efficient operations and avoiding legal battles. It’s the boring mechanics of the backroom structure that can make a world of difference. One of the key areas this idea applies to is positions. Positions can simply be described as what the employee is contracted to do. In legal terms, this often means the functions, duties, and responsibilities they have. A position includes the scope of an employee’s work – but excludes other things, like their hours. Writing positions in contracts One of the most important aspects of designing a position is to actually describe it in your contract. It’s crucial to give the position a title, but going beyond this and giving a detailed description can actually be a double-edged sword.  For example, giving a detailed position of the work a bartender does could mean you miss some of the work you need them to do. If you include pouring beers, but not making cocktails, does that mean the bartender has a right not to make cocktails at work? The answer is to be less prescriptive with how you write positions into your contracts. Typically, a title implies what workers do, regardless of what their position description says anyway. You can assume a bartender is required to pour cocktails – what bartender wouldn’t? There are also duties that are on the edge of what a position is. These are less obvious and depend on many factors – but it’s still better to have a less prescriptive description. The simpler, the better. If you still need a position description, don’t make it contractual, and make it clear that the duties aren’t exhaustive and can be changed. Expectation Management Position descriptions are really an exercise in expectation management with your workers. Ultimately, it’s better to deal with your expectations outside of the contract with your employee – for three key reasons: Evolving business needs. Your business needs change all the time. Having what you require in a contract would mean you can get caught out with changing needs if you don’t regularly update your contracts. Employees want to develop skills. Many employees will actually want to move up in the business, and relish the opportunity to develop new skills and potentially get a pay bump. Having a tight definition of what they do can be a block to this. Some employees don’t want to exceed what’s in their contract. Sadly, some employees will game the system and try to avoid exceeding what’s in their contract. Having a specific list of what they need to do can promote this. Restructuring positions If you make any major changes to positions, you should do this with the employee’s agreement. Document these changes with a separate contract – keeping in mind it can’t change the minimum standards given by modern awards & enterprise agreements. There are other key rules to follow when restructuring too. Restructures have a significant effect on employees, and it’s crucial that you have a genuine consultation process with them. You’ll need to show that you took the employee’s feedback into account. Termination & Redundancy It’s important to remember that to make a position redundant, you must follow these three steps at a minimum Consultation obligations Show that it was unreasonable in the circumstances to redeploy the staff member Redundancy payout (unless an exception applies) Learn more Tanda recently hosted a webinar covering the ins and outs of positions by our Head of Product Compliance, Andrew Stirling.

In a major underpayments case, the Federal Court has found that the Director and co-founder of a major franchise liable for underpayments from the businesses’ franchisees. The franchise is accused of short-changing workers in excess of $170,000, by failing to pay penalty rates. Under Fair Work legislation, Directors, founders and managers can be personally liable for underpayments – even if they had no knowledge of the underpayments. The franchise attempted to object on the grounds that they paid “Chinatown market rates” and didn’t understand the requirements or the Awards, but this was rejected by the Court. Judge Manousaridis clarified that it’s not necessary to prove the Director knew or believed that the conduct was unlawful – even though he found the Director did not think he made the Franchise engage in unlawful activity. The case heads to a penalties hearing later this month. Ignorance no excuse It’s an old saying that ignorance of the law is no excuse, and the principle again rears its head in this case. The Franchise claims not to be aware of breaches or of the provisions in the act were flatly rejected by the court. While most franchisors have a strong knowledge of the requirements of Awards, like penalty rates and entitlements, the case also shines a light on the importance of ensuring franchisees are compliant. Franchisor Compliance in the spotlight It’s one thing for everyone at head office to understand the rules, but it’s even more important that franchisees both know and are compliant with the specifics of Award rules. Many franchisors have taken to mandating compliance systems across their networks – or at least giving franchisees a choice of several systems – to stay on the right side of the law. The case underlines the importance of head office taking a rigorous attitude towards compliance right across the franchisee network. As part of Tanda has compiled a webinar on the top five compliance issues that businesses need to monitor to stay on the right side of the law. If you’d like to find out more about how Tanda’s software can help your business stay compliant, you can click here to book a demonstration.
