MA000029: joinery and building trades payroll rules
MA000029 covers joinery, shopfitting and off-site building trades work, with its own classification structure, tool allowances and shift provisions. Project Payroll interprets it alongside on-site awards so a business running both workshop and site crews pays each correctly.
