Questions worth looking into.

Hours at different times

Review represented day-work time-window penalties alongside ordinary pay and daily overtime. Reconciled shift times are essential; recording a shift does not establish that every shiftwork provision is covered.

Weekend and public-holiday work

Compare represented cash penalty outcomes using the shift date and work location. Keep these calculations distinct from separate public-holiday minimum-payment provisions that are not implemented.

Full-time averaging and part-time patterns

Supported hourly full-time averaging and part-time excess-hours calculations need complete period facts and the employee’s effective arrangements. A payroll total does not establish those arrangements by itself.

What the current demo covers.

The controlled demo covers represented minimum-rate comparison, hourly ordinary pay, casual loading, daily overtime, weekend and same-day public-holiday cash penalties, day-work time-window penalties and minimum engagement.

When additional evidence is needed

Period overtime, hourly full-time averaging, monetary RDO/ADO or excess-work-day outcomes and part-time guaranteed or rostered-hours excess are conditional on complete period, roster and setup evidence. A standalone monetary rest consequence is not applicable in the current Hospitality scope; it is not offered as a Hospitality calculation.

Hospitality Industry (General) Award 2020 (MA000009). Supported scenarios for casual, part-time and hourly full-time employees only. Production use is not approved.

Bring the right records together.

  • Employee profiles with the supplied supported Hospitality classification and employment type.
  • Shift dates, actual hours and paid amounts, with reconciled start/end times where required.
  • Work locations and dates for applicable public-holiday calendar selection.
  • The relevant averaging arrangement or written part-time pattern and its effective dates.
  • Complete period submissions and actual-work roster evidence for conditional calculations.
Use the payroll audit data checklist

The boundaries matter.

Separate break-not-provided payments, additional paid-rest payments and the separate full-time or part-time public-holiday minimum are not implemented. Casino and Managerial Staff (Hotels) streams, allowances, higher duties, apprentices, trainees and supported-wage arrangements are outside the generic supported scope.

New audits require pay periods starting on or after 1 July 2025 and applicable source and calendar coverage. Earlier-starting periods are excluded in full.

WageReview does not determine legal Award coverage, classification, employment status or agreement validity. It does not process payroll, write back payments or provide tax, superannuation, leave, termination or salary reconciliation. Findings are for human review, not a guarantee of compliance.

Hospitality review questions.

Does the public-holiday calculation cover every public-holiday entitlement?

No. Represented same-day cash penalties are supported, but the separate full-time and part-time public-holiday minimum is not implemented. Deferred time off and annual-leave alternatives are also outside scope.

Does storing break information mean break payments are calculated?

No. Break information can be needed to establish payable hours. Storing it does not add break-not-provided or additional paid-rest payments to the supported scope.

Does the Hospitality page apply to all hotel employees?

No. Coverage depends on the supplied supported Award classification and hourly employment arrangement. WageReview does not legally determine Award coverage, and special streams are excluded.
