Award Setup

As part of your setup and integration with Wageloch, we need to know how you pay your staff according to either:

Your industry's legislative award.
Your Enterprise Agreement (EA or EBA).
Individual Flexibility Arrangement (IFA) that's been agreed upon with your employees.

The detail you provide is manually programmed into Wageloch's award interpreter; the more information you provide the better! This award information is how your timesheets are automatically calculated for submission to your payroll, based on the shifts confirmed each day.

We'll cover the type of information we need further on in this article.

Process

Once Wageloch has received your signed agreement, your account is assigned to an implementation specialist.
Your implementation specialist will make first contact by giving you a call and welcoming you to Wageloch.
During this call, they will find out more about you, your business and needs.
The specialist will discuss our award template with you; an editable Excel spreadsheet that provides a rough guide of the award information we need to formulate your timesheets.
When you receive the emailed spreadsheet, please consult your award/EA/IFA and fill this template out to the best of your ability.
- If you have multiple awards, you're welcome to duplicate and modify and needed.
Once completed, please send your template/s back to your implementation specialist, or to awards@wageloch.com.au.
Should your specialist have any questions or concerns, they will contact you directly to clarify.
Once completed, you'll move to the next step in the Integration Timeline

What information do I include?

In the template, you'll notice some simple pay group columns such as Casual, Permanent and Salary as well as rows for Monday - Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Public Holidays and Overtime.
There are also some multiplier percentages, such as 100%, 125%, 150%, etc.; these are all simply examples of things we need to know according to your award.

We have the ability to make very intricate award rulings such as allowances, afternoon/night/morning rates - let us know what you need.

As an example for the permanent pay group:

Monday - Friday between 6AM - 6PM: Staff receive 100% of their hourly rate (ordinary hours)
Monday - Friday between 6PM - 6AM: Staff receieve 150% of their hourly rate (penalty rate)
Saturday (all day): Staff receive overtime 150% for first 3 hours, overtime 200% for any hours thereafter.
Sunday (all day): Staff receive overtime 200% for all hours worked.
Public Holidays (all day): Staff receive 250% of their hourly rate (penalty rate)
