In Canberra

A check for casuals, rosters and awards in the ACT

Hospitality, retail, health and professional services employers in Canberra often combine casual, part-time and salaried staff under several awards. Fair Work compliance in Canberra begins with a sample of real payslips and also notes ACT features such as portable long service leave schemes in certain industries.

We say plainly that we are a Perth agency serving Canberra, not a local branch. What Canberra clients get is a small in-house team, direct access to the people doing the work and a proposal that lists exactly what is included.

  • Coverage and classification checked
  • Contractor arrangements reviewed
  • ACT entitlements flagged

Common situations

What Canberra clients usually ask us to solve

Hospitality and retail with casual staff

Hospitality and retail employers with casual staff must apply weekend rates and minimum engagements correctly. We test payslips against the award.

Professional services using contractors

Professional services using contractors face sham contracting risk. We review arrangements against the tests that apply.

Associations and not-for-profits

Associations and not-for-profits often face modern award and classification questions. We check coverage and rates.

2
Casuals

Casual loadings and conversion rules add complexity to every pay.

3
Rosters

Penalties and breaks need careful testing against real rosters.

4
History

Looking further back takes longer, so we agree the period at the start.

5

Messy or incomplete records are slower to review and may need tidying first.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to the questions we hear most.

Ask your own →
Do you check casuals?
Yes, including casual loadings and conversion rules, which are a common source of mistakes.
Will you find underpayments?
If underpayments exist we will tell you plainly, because finding them early makes them easier to fix.
Do you fix them?
We plan the corrections and guide you through them, so you know what to pay and how to record it.
Is it confidential?
Yes, your records and findings stay private, and we only share them with the people you choose.
How often should we review?
Annually works well for most employers, and again after any award change or restructure.
Can you check one award only?
Yes, if your concern lies in one award or group of staff, we can focus the review there.
What are the risks of getting award coverage wrong?
Underpayment, back-pay liability and penalties. Checking coverage and classification early is much cheaper than fixing it after a complaint.
Are contractors a compliance risk?
They can be, if the relationship looks like employment. We review the arrangement against the tests that apply and suggest changes.
Do ACT-specific entitlements matter?
Some do, such as portable long service leave in certain industries. We flag them for you to confirm with the relevant authority.
How do you present the findings?
As a ranked list with the rule, the evidence from your records and what to change, in plain language.
