Notes on work,
awards and tooling.

Mostly about the parts of running an Australian team that are harder than they look: award interpretation, monitoring done decently, and why the tools disagree with each other.

Common questions

How often do you publish?

When there is something worth saying rather than to a schedule. Compliance changes and award updates take priority over everything else.

Can we republish an article?

Yes, with attribution and a link back to the original. Email us if you want the piece adapted for your own audience.

Do you cover awards other than Retail and Hospitality?

The writing does. The interpreter in the product currently ships Retail (MA000004) and Hospitality (MA000009).

Is this legal advice?

No. It is a plain-English explanation of how the rules work. For a decision about a specific person’s pay, check with the Fair Work Ombudsman or your own adviser.

Can we suggest a topic?

Yes, and the ones that come from a real problem someone hit are usually the best. Email us.
