This was a live session with Head Trainer Tasya, who answered tricky SCHADS payroll questions like:

  • Is a meal allowance payable when work is performed during a sleepover and paid at overtime rates?
  • How should broken shifts be treated when a worker performs a sleepover, morning support, and returns later that day?
  • Can shift workers work with only an 8-hour break between shifts if they agree, or does overtime automatically apply under SCHADS?
  • If a part-time employee’s public holiday shift is cancelled and replaced with another shift, should the replacement still be paid at public holiday rates?
  • When an employee responds to work while on-call and has to leave home (for example to collect medication), is this considered remote work or a recall to duty under SCHADS?

This replay is suitable for rostering managers, payroll administrators, and NDIS providers who want clear guidance on managing rosters accurately and ensuring smooth integration with payroll.
