Complex, ever-changing rules
Penalty rates, allowances, super and thresholds shift regularly. Keeping every award interpretation current by hand is a full-time job.
FairCheck continuously checks that Modern Awards and Enterprise Agreements are applied correctly inside Xero, MYOB and Employment Hero, so you catch underpayments before they become liabilities.
Australia has 120+ Modern Awards plus countless Enterprise Agreements, each with its own rates, penalties and allowances that change over time. A small misconfiguration in your payroll quietly compounds every pay run.
Penalty rates, allowances, super and thresholds shift regularly. Keeping every award interpretation current by hand is a full-time job.
A few cents wrong per shift becomes years of back-pay, interest and penalties, often discovered far too late to fix quietly.
Fair Work expects evidence that employees were paid correctly. Spreadsheets and gut-feel don't hold up when it counts.

FairCheck was built by people who've done payroll compliance the hard way.
For years our founder Storme, an HR specialist with a Juris Doctor, manually analysed payslips for law firms to calculate underpayments for tribunal claims. It was slow, expensive and entirely reactive: by the time an error surfaced, it was already back-pay.
Her husband Vinny, with a background building software, set out to automate it. FairCheck is the result: the judgement of someone who has interpreted Awards line by line, turned into a tool that checks pay is right, ideally before payday rather than years later.
Independent, Australian, and built for the complex, real-world environments like schools, healthcare, aged care and hospitality, where compliance actually gets hard.
