Is your pay right?
Check your payslip against the SCHADS Award.

How it works

1

Upload your payslip

PDF or a clear photo. We read the rates, hours and allowances printed on it — nothing is guessed or filled in.

2

We compare every rate

Each line is checked against the Fair Work Ombudsman pay guide for the SCHADS Award — ordinary hours, weekend and public-holiday rates, sleepovers, travel and broken-shift allowances.

3

Get a clear answer

Line by line: looks right, worth checking, or below the minimum — with the exact dollar figures, so you know what to ask your employer.

What gets checked

We check

  • ✓ Your hourly rate vs your classification's minimum
  • ✓ Saturday, Sunday & public holiday rates
  • ✓ Afternoon and night shift rates
  • ✓ Sleepover allowance ($62.87 per night)
  • ✓ Vehicle allowance ($1.01 per km)
  • ✓ Broken shift allowances
  • ✓ What classification your rate matches, if your payslip doesn't say

We don't (yet)

  • — Overtime rates (they depend on when the hours were worked)
  • — Enterprise agreement rates (we compare against the award minimum)
  • — Whether your hours themselves are right — that needs your roster too

When we can't check something, we say so — we never estimate.

Two minutes to peace of mind

The 2026 Annual Wage Review lifted SCHADS minimums by 4.75% from 1 July 2026. If your rate didn't move, that's worth two minutes.
