This is a practical end-to-end walkthrough of how Visual Care and PayCat work together to turn rostering into a margin-protection tool. Jack from Visualcare breaks down the hidden cost pressures hitting providers right now, from wage increases and pricing caps to SCHADS complexity and compliance scrutiny, then shows how bringing award interpretation into the rostering stage changes the economics of every shift.

We talk about:

• How PayCat Connect sends the full pay period for award interpretation, not just a single shift

• Why the same roster can trigger very different costs depending on shift timing, worker level, sleepover design, and allowances

• How providers can spot overtime, broken shifts, and top-up conditions before timesheets hit payroll

• What a real roster warning looks like in Visual Care when a shift is likely to create extra cost

• How a payroll team can still make last-minute adjustments in PayCat and have shift costing recalculate instantly

Tasya then takes over to show what happens once timesheets land in Pay Cat, where SCHADS automation recalculates everything in real time. That means penalty rates, first aid allowance, overtime meal allowance, sleepover allowance, and other entitlements are applied automatically, with every clause broken down for auditability and historical review.

Who is this for:
