Four steps

What happens between approval and cost report?

  1. 01

    Hours captured and approved on site

    Your crew clocks on in CrewTime, our own site timesheet app, and the foreman approves on site, or approved timesheets sync in from Procore if that's where your crew already works. Either way hours land with job, cost code and shift context attached. There is no import screen, because there is no file.

    Receiving approved hours…

  2. 02

    The engine reads the agreement

    Classifications, all-purpose allowances, travel and fares, multi-storey, shift loadings, overtime steps and RDO cycles are applied from your award and EBA, the same way every run, with the clause recorded against each line.

    Interpreting clauses…

  3. 03

    Pay, super and STP2 go out together

    Net pay files, PAYG, super to the fund inside 7 business days, and STP2 reporting all leave from one finalised run. Nothing waits for a quarter.

    Lodging STP2…

  4. 04

    Labour lands on the cost code

    Costed actuals, wages, allowances, super, leave accrual and levies, post back to the job and cost code the hours came from, so variations are priced while they are still arguable.

    Costing to job codes…

Site timesheets are captured in CrewTime, our own construction timesheet app.

Product questions

Do we lose control if payroll interprets the agreement for us?

No. Every interpreted line shows the clause it came from and can be overridden with a reason recorded. You keep the decision; you stop doing the arithmetic.

How long does implementation take?

Four weeks is typical, including reading and building your agreements, mapping cost codes and running a parallel pay run before you rely on it.

Can we run a parallel pay period?

Yes, and we insist on it. You compare our interpreted run against your current one line by line before go-live.

What happens when the award changes?

We update it. Annual wage decisions take effect from the first full pay period after 1 July and agreement steps are applied on their anniversary dates without you filing a ticket.

Reviewed August 2026. Australian construction payroll rules change often; we keep this current.
