We currently have 3 EBA types:

Traditional Award

Our most flexible EBA type, offering the widest range of shift types and settings. It splits a weekday into two timeframes: Day and Night (with the ability to enable an 'Early morning shift'). If you have a complex payroll structure, this could be the best option for your company.

Modern Award

The modern award is similar to the traditional award but splits a weekday into three timeframes: Day, Afternoon, and Night (with the ability to enable an 'Early morning shift'). It also replaces the Traditional Award's 5 Night shift with consecutive afternoon and consecutive night to provide an individual rate if an employee has worked five consecutive shifts.

Flat Rate

Our simplest EBA type. If you have a straightforward payroll structure where you don't need to pay a different rate depending on the time of day, this EBA type may be the best fit for you. Compared to Traditional and Modern, Flat Rate doesn't consider the timeframe and provides the one rate. You are able to configure the settings to add the payable hours: 'Flat Rate Overtime hours', and 'Flat Rate Allocated Travel hours'.

Each EBA type provides different 'Payable Hours' and 'Payroll Shift Types' that you can use.

Payable Hours & Allowances Display Columns

This table lets you customise column names and choose which columns to show or hide in the pay run and earnings rates tabs.

Items marked with * will have additional settings in the 'Configurations for Allowances' section.

You can set items marked with an asterisk * as 'not used.' Other items that are toggled off will hide the column from the pay run and earnings rate tabs but will still be used.
