Use the award and pay rate finders
Organisation Admins set the organisation award. Managers and Organisation Admins can then assess a team member. The finder supports the Hospitality, Restaurant and Fast Food awards; unsupported or uncertain coverage needs separate review.
Set the organisation award
- Open Settings → Pay Rates and find Organisation award.
- Choose Find organisation award and answer the business questions, or choose Select award directly if you have already confirmed coverage.
- Review the recommendation, warnings, linked source and effective date.
- Review the optional Automatically configure weekend and public holiday penalties checkbox before confirming. This replaces each location's existing penalty grid, including hourly overrides.
Find a team member's rate
- Open Team, select the person and choose Find award pay rate in their Employment section.
- Confirm employment type and age, then answer from their actual duties, responsibilities and training. Use I already know their classification only for a classification you have checked.
- Review the classification, source, effective date and warnings. Confirm Actual hourly rate to pay ($/hr); an existing higher rate is retained by default.
- Choose Apply pay rate. This immediately saves the member's rate and adds it to Settings → Pay Rates for reuse.
The finder cannot apply a rate without a verified supported minimum. Penalties, allowances, overtime and special arrangements may need separate review. Changing the organisation award preserves existing staff rates; reassess affected people separately.
