The Hidden Cost Problem

Every week, SCHADS entitlements silently inflate your payroll bill.

The SCHADS Award is one of Australia's most complex workplace agreements. For NDIS providers these entitlements can add up fast, and most have zero visibility until the money is already paid out through payroll.

Based on what you entered above, here's how fast broken shifts and overtime add up for providers like you.

Overtime

Minimum Engagement
