Payroll that understands the SCHADS Award

Stop manually working out which hours are ordinary, evening, weekend or overtime. Diversity Sync'd interprets the SCHADS Award from approved timesheets — categorising every hour with the right loadings — and syncs straight to Xero or MYOB, where each employee's ordinary rate does the rest.

Built-in SCHADS Award interpretation

The SCHADS Award is complex — but interpreting it doesn't have to be. Diversity Sync'd reads each shift and categorises every hour against the right rule: shift loadings, weekend penalties, public holiday rates, broken-shift allowances and overtime. The output is hour categories with the correct multipliers — ready for your accounting platform to apply against each employee's ordinary rate.

Timesheet-to-payroll sync

Approved timesheets flow straight into payroll with all award interpretations already applied. No more re-keying hours into spreadsheets or accounting software. Every shift, break, and allowance is captured and calculated automatically.

Hours into Xero & MYOB, one click away

Send approved, award-interpreted hours straight to Xero or MYOB — every hour already categorised as ordinary, evening, Saturday, Sunday, public holiday or overtime. Your accounting platform multiplies those categorised hours against each employee's ordinary rate held there, so you keep one source of truth for hours worked and one source of truth for pay rates.
