Every shift is classified by day type, split by penalty window, and interpreted against the SCHADS Award as you roster it. Sleepover overrides, broken shifts, allowances and mileage are handled in one place — with live warnings for the things that used to only surface at pay run.
Everything that a payroll officer used to check by hand on Friday afternoon.
Every shift is classified as weekday, Saturday, Sunday or public holiday — with correct handling of shifts that span midnight or a day boundary. Penalty windows split the shift automatically.
Set one rate template per SCHADS sub-level × employment type — about sixteen templates cover a whole workforce, instead of two hundred per-worker dropdowns to keep in sync. Award updates change one row.
Per-shift sleepover overrides handle the special rate. Per-hour allowances are automatically suppressed while asleep. Wake-time is either flat-rate hours or actual worked hours, whichever your policy says.
Two shifts on the same day with a break in the middle trigger the broken-shift allowance. ROC catches it whether you rostered it or the workers made it happen with a swap.
As you roster and as timesheets come in, ROC flags broken shifts, missed breaks, minimum-engagement violations, and mileage caps — before pay run, when they can still be fixed cheaply.
Allowance categories, per-worker default allowances, and Pay Groups for shared configuration mean the "Susan always gets the sleepover allowance" logic lives in one place, not in a payroll officer's head.
Where SCHADS interpretation catches money that would otherwise leak.
The shift crosses midnight into Saturday. ROC splits the penalty windows correctly, applies the sleepover rate for the asleep hours, keeps the wake-check as active hours, and suppresses per-hour allowances during the asleep block.
Automatically classified as public holiday. Rate template applies the correct multiplier. Nothing to remember on the day.
Two shifts on the same day with a four-hour gap. Broken-shift allowance applied automatically; no manual flag needed.
The shift is below the minimum-engagement threshold. ROC flags it in the roster before it's saved. Coordinator either extends it, pairs it with another shift, or pays the minimum-engagement penalty knowingly.
SCHADS mistakes usually show up in Fair Work Ombudsman reviews and back-pay claims months later, when they're expensive. Catching them at the roster is one hundred times cheaper than catching them at the FWO.
