Regular reports on roster compliance with Modern Award and company policies.
Automated or manual reporting on roster compliance: tracking of breaches, penalty rates accuracy, rest period compliance, and Award requirement adherence. Identifies issues before they become problems.
Compliance reporting is regular checking of rosters against Modern Award requirements and company policy, testing rest periods, maximum hours, breaks and penalty rates, and reporting any breaches so they can be corrected early and a record of compliance is kept. It’s one function of Rostering Optimisation within your People Hub , part of a connected back office.
