Casuals

Casual loadings and conversion rules add complexity to every pay.

Rosters

Penalties and breaks need careful testing against real rosters.

History

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

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.
Which awards usually apply on the Gold Coast?
It depends on the work, but hospitality, retail, clerical and various trade awards are common. We check coverage for each role.
How do school holiday and event peaks affect compliance?
Extra shifts and many casuals raise the risk of errors in rates, breaks and records. We review peak-period rosters.
Do backpackers and working-holiday staff have the same entitlements?
Generally yes, subject to visa conditions. We check the arrangement and advise on correct pay.
How do you present the review?
A ranked list with the rule, what we found and what to change, in plain language.
