Two free tools. No account needed to start.
The fastest way to meet FairCheck is to use it.
Check a payslip
Upload a payslip PDF or photo. FairCheck works out the award with you, applies the penalties, loadings and super, and tells you whether the pay adds up. Plain answer first, full breakdown underneath.
Award pay calculator
Describe the job and the week. Get the correct minimum pay under the award, with penalties, overtime and allowances, and a plain-English reason for every figure. The calculator that explains itself.
Beyond the Fair Work pay calculator
Same source of truth. A lot more of the answer.
Fair Work PACT gives you

FairCheck gives you

For employeesPay guides by award
Minimum rates and penalties for the awards most businesses run on. Free to read, and updated when the rates change each 1 July.
Serious about the data
We handle real pay data, so we built FairCheck to hold as little as possible, for as short a time as possible.
Australian built
Made for Australian Modern Awards and enterprise agreements, using the Fair Work Commission's published rates.
Private by design
Names and identifiers are swapped for tokens before storage, each account's data is encrypted separately, and payslips are deleted on a timer you control.
Defensible records
Every check is kept with the award and the reasoning behind it, so you have a record if you are ever asked.
Questions people ask
How do I check if I am being underpaid?
Upload a payslip or enter the hours and pay. FairCheck works out the award and classification, applies the penalties, loadings and super, and tells you whether the pay meets the minimum, with the reasoning for every line.
Is FairCheck free?
The payslip check and the pay calculator are free to use. Ongoing checking across your team is charged per employee per month, and every account gets 1 employee checked free.
Does FairCheck connect to my payroll?
Yes. It connects to Xero, MYOB and Employment Hero with read-only access. It never changes pay.
Is a FairCheck result legal advice?
No. FairCheck gives general guidance based on published award and Fair Work information. It is not legal or financial advice, and you should verify with a professional or the Fair Work Ombudsman before acting.
