57%. That is the share of Fair Work investigations that resulted in enforcement action last financial year.

One of the most common issues that causes non-compliance is Award misinterpretation. Not malice, not greed. Misreading or misapplying the rules.

There are some awards that have changed at least 3 times in the last 18 months alone. If your last interpretation review pre-dates 2025, you are not where you think you are.

Broken shifts under SCHADS.

Three rules most providers either do not know or apply inconsistently. Each one is a penalty risk on its own; together they shape an entire rostering pattern.

Corinne walks through what counts as a broken shift, when the allowance applies, and the trap that costs the most.

"Practical, fast, and they actually understood our business."

We supported this national retailer across multiple sites. Award complexity at scale. The kind of organisation where consistent, well documented award interpretation and application is critical to the operation.

Glad to be a part of the solution.

Your support worker doesn't automatically jump to a higher paypoint just because they've been with you a year.

SCHADS paypoint progression has specific criteria. Time alone isn't enough. Competency review and acquisition of new skills is the trigger.

Three things we commonly see when it comes to classifications (and all of them lead to wage issues).

Many employers learn this the hard way, usually after a complaint. Classification is not job title. It is not what you happen to pay. And it is not what you wrote in the contract. It is what the Award says the role is based upon the duties, qualifications and responsibilities of the individual performing the work.

Corinne walks through what trips up most organisations and how to stress-test your current classifications before the FWO does.

Driving between clients counts as work.

SCHADS travel allowances cover both your travel time and your kilometres. Both need to be paid separately from regular wages.

Lots of organisations get the rate but miss the time. That's the part FWO looks for first.
