The SCHADS Award is one of the most
complicated awards in Australia.
Did you know that
there are four different streams
in the award,
each having their own pay rate,
and guide.
The type of care you provide
will dictate the streams,
rates, the allowances,
among other things.
For example, what is “Minimum Engagement”?,
what is “Broken Shift”?,
and what is “Active Sleepover”?
Do you do 24-hour care?
If you're an NDIS business
trying to figure this out yourself,
please seek professional advice.
We have onboarded
large NDIS businesses
with full fledged HR departments,
and they still get this wrong.
Getting your obligations wrong
could be costing your business
in three ways.
One: Underpaying staff members
and potentially
getting massive underpayment claims.
Two: Overpaying staff,
which cuts profitability
of your business.
Three: Months wasted
going through timesheets
and recalculating correct payment.
Fixing these mistakes can be costly
in terms of time and money,
so it's highly advisable to get it right
the first time.
Give us a call.
We support NDIS business owners
with our resources, advice and webinars.
Our members
even get free access to Bright Lightning,
which is an AI powered platform
for Australian business owners.
