About
We check timesheets against the SCHADS Award so payroll teams don’t have to.
CrossVault is a small Australian software company. We make a web app that reads timesheets, applies the rules of the SCHADS Modern Award, and tells you which shifts look wrong before pay day.
Why we built it
The SCHADS Award is the pay rulebook for Australia’s disability and aged-care sector. It runs to hundreds of pages and most providers pay it wrong — broken shift allowances missed, sleepovers mis-coded, public holiday loading skipped. The Fair Work Ombudsman has been recovering tens of millions in underpayments from this sector every year.
Payroll teams know this. They mostly catch errors by reading every timesheet line by hand, which is slow and still misses things. CrossVault does that pass automatically, in a couple of seconds per employee, and shows the clause it relied on so a human can check.
What you actually get
Sign in, upload a roster or timesheet export, and CrossVault returns a report. That’s the loop. Three things sit inside the product:
- Timesheet Verifier. Each shift gets checked against the relevant SCHADS clause. The output is a per-shift list of issues with the rule cited.
- Awards Assistant. A chat box you can ask plain-English questions like “what’s the broken shift allowance for a level 3 casual?” It answers and points to the clause.
- Job Classifier. Helps employers map a role to the correct SCHADS level and pay point so the base rate is right from day one.
The product lives at crossvault.com.au. Pricing is on the pricing page.
How we’re set up
We’re a SaaS business. The product is a website — nothing to install, no on-prem deployment. Customers sign up online and pay a monthly subscription. There’s no professional services arm; the website is the company.

Who’s building it
It’s a small team. We’d rather get the rules right with a handful of customers than ship fast and quietly underpay people.
