Run the award compliance report

adminmanager Last updated 26 April 2026

The award compliance report tells you how well your employee records are populated with Modern Award information. Australian award coverage is messy in practice, this report is the platform’s way of helping you spot gaps.

Open the report

  1. On the left hand sidebar, under Tools, click Reports.
  2. Click Compliance.

What the report shows

Summary:

  • Employees with award. Count of employees who have a Modern Award and classification set on their record.
  • Employees without award. Count without one. These are highlighted with a compliance alert.

Employee list: A table with one row per employee showing:

  • Name, job title, department
  • Award ID and Award classification
  • Pay rate and pay rate unit (hourly, weekly, annual, etc.)

Filters

Organisation-scoped. No date range applies (this is a snapshot of current state).

Export to CSV

CSV columns: employee name, job title, department, award_id, award_classification, pay_rate, pay_rate_unit.

A note on what “compliance” means here

Having an award assigned on the platform does NOT mean the employee is correctly paid. It means the platform has captured which award applies to them and which classification within it. The actual pay rate on their record might or might not match what the award says they should be paid.

For genuine award compliance, you need to:

  1. Make sure the right award is assigned. (This report helps with that.)
  2. Make sure the right classification within the award is assigned.
  3. Make sure the pay rate on the record meets or exceeds the FWC’s current minimum for that classification.
  4. Make sure the rate gets updated whenever Fair Work updates the award (typically each year on 1 July).

The platform helps with steps 1, 2, and 4 (it auto-refreshes award rates each year). Step 3 is where the report’s gaps highlight problems.

”Award not applicable” cases

Some employees aren’t covered by a Modern Award at all (high-income employees on individual contracts, certain professional employees, contractors). For these, the right thing to do is set the award field to “Not applicable” or similar so they don’t show as a gap on this report. Talk to your HR admin or legal advisor if you’re not sure who’s covered.
