Second-guessing which stream an employee sits under, or why two people doing similar work end up on different shift rules? SCHADS classification trips up even experienced payroll teams, and getting it wrong is one of the easiest ways to end up with an underpayment on your hands.

Tasya walked through:

• How to correctly classify employees under Home Care versus Social and Community Services

• The difference between the disability and non-disability sections within Social and Community Services, including how broken shift and minimum shift requirements differ even when the pay rate doesn't

• How to get classification levels and pay points right, the first time

• What's changing under the SCHADS Award from 1 October, including the pay increase for home care disability support workers, and how to make sure the right people in your business are correctly classified to receive it

See exactly how to prepare, live inside Pay Cat: how award updates flow through automatically, and how to use the classification report and employee updater in the Pay Cat toolbox to check your team is classified correctly and ready for October 1.

Whether you're new to SCHADS payroll or you've been doing this for years, this session will give you a clear, practical answer to "are we classifying people correctly?" before the October pay change makes getting it right even more important.
