Your rostering policy is doing more work than you think.

Where the SCHADS Award is silent, your policy is what decides the outcome.

Broken shifts do not apply to everyone.

Clause 25.6 of the SCHADS Award covers social and community services employees doing disability work, and home care employees.

One half sentence.

An offset clause said any payment could offset. Two clauses down, the commissions clause excluded itself from the contract. A small remediation became a Fair Work Ombudsman matter.

Great people, great conversations, and a whole lot of energy! 🙌
We loved partnering with Spectrum Comms to deliver a customised workshop on-site, focusing on effective workplace communication.

Because learning works best when it’s practical, interactive, and a little bit fun! 👏

Thanks for having us along for the journey!

The client cancelled. Do you pay the casual?

Clause 25.5 of the SCHADS Award covers full-time and part-time employees. There is no provision for casuals, so your policy decides.

Call 1800 SCHADS (1800 724 237) to speak with the industry experts.

Is it one shift, or three?

What actually counts as a shift under the SCHADS Award when a support worker sees three clients in a day.

Call 1800 SCHADS (1800 724 237) to speak with the industry experts.

Set and forget.

A system goes in, someone goes on a salary, and everyone assumes it is handled. The gaps compound quietly for years.

Paid or unpaid? Ask one question.

If they cannot leave the premises, it is paid. Clause 27.1C of the SCHADS Award, and the test employers get wrong most often.

Call 1800 SCHADS (1800 724 237) to speak with the industry experts.

29/09/2026

Two years of no tea breaks. Whose fault is that?

A dispute that turned on what the policy said, not what the award said. Clause 27.2 of the SCHADS Award, and the policy that protects you.

Call 1800 SCHADS (1800 724 237) to speak with the industry experts.

28/09/2026

An airtight contractor agreement does not settle it.

The whole of relationship test examines everything, not one clause. Get it wrong and it is sham contracting under the Fair Work Act.
