We’ve developed the only independently reviewed SCHADS Award payroll template that integrates directly into Employment Hero Payroll. Unlike a generic setup, our solution includes built-in SCHADS Award interpretation—covering pay rates, entitlements, allowances and complex rules.
The result? You get:
A legally compliant, pre-configured payroll engine for SCHADS
Seamless integration with Employment Hero Payroll
Real-time updates as the Award changes
Thousands of care providers across Australia rely on Pay Cat for one reason: we make SCHADS compliance simple.
Understanding your obligations under the SCHADS Award isn’t just about doing the right thing. It’s the law.
Underpayment cases are rising. Many providers overpay to avoid risk, eating into margins, while others unintentionally underpay and face fines, backpay, or worse.
With our SCHADS-specific payroll setup, you no longer have to choose between legal risk and overcompensating.
It’s award compliance, guaranteed.
Here’s what makes our system different:
Award Interpretation Engine: Handles allowances, penalties, broken shifts, travel time, sleepovers and more
Fully Configured Template: Customised to SCHADS rules, updated in real-time
Independent Review: Our system is the only one in Australia independently reviewed and verified as 100% SCHADS-compliant
Phone + Email Support: Our team of SCHADS experts are ready to help
Employment Hero Payroll is a powerful platform—and we’re proud to be an official partner. But while most providers just hand you the software, Pay Cat delivers a pre-built, SCHADS-specific setup on top of it.
Think of it like buying a car vs. buying a car that’s been pre-tuned for Australian outback roads. It’s still the same vehicle, but it’s ready for your conditions—and it comes with an expert team to support the journey.
We’ve helped care businesses all across Australia:
Avoid non-compliance issues
Save time on every payroll run
Understand the award without having to decode it
