MAPD Data Explorer
The MAPD Data Explorer lets you browse the modern-award reference data FairCheck holds — the same awards the compliance engine checks payslips against. As the page says, it shows "what the webhook/sync saved in the database, with strict limits." You need to be signed in to use it.
Searching awards
Three filters sit above the table:
- Code (exact) — an award code such as
MA000002. Only that award is returned. - Search (code/name) — matches anywhere in the code or the name, for example "building".
- Limit — rows per page, from 10 to 200. The default is 50; values outside the range are clamped.
Click Search to apply. The bar beneath shows Total matching awards and Page n/m, with Prev and Next to move between pages. Results are ordered by code.
The table columns are:
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| ID | FairCheck's internal id for the award |
| Code | The award code (MA######) |
| Name | The award's name |
| Classifications | How many pay classifications FairCheck holds for the award |
| Salaried | Whether the award is flagged as salaried in the stored data |
| Source fetched | The date the award's data was last fetched from the source |
| Updated | The date the stored record last changed |
If nothing matches, the table reads "No awards match your filter."
Where this data comes from
The awards, their classifications and their versioned rates and penalties are synced from the Fair Work Commission's Modern Awards Pay Database (MAPD) and are never hand-edited. A sync refreshes one award at a time from that source; Source fetched is when that last happened for the award you are looking at.
The FWC/MAPD service can also notify FairCheck when award data changes by posting to FairCheck's /webhooks/mapd endpoint. The affected MA###### codes are extracted from that notification and re-synced, so later evaluations price against current rates. Details of that webhook are at /developers/webhooks.
What the explorer shows is reference data only. Which award applies to a payslip is decided elsewhere — see Confirm payslip details and Employees.
