Payroll & awards
Get pay right before it reaches your payroll provider — classify staff under their award, customise pay rules, override rates, and set public holidays so Shiftly's estimate is accurate.
Payroll in Shiftly is about getting the pay right before it reaches your payroll provider. Shiftly reads the award, applies your rules, and turns approved timesheets into an accurate pay estimate — then exports that to Xero, where the pay run and payslips are actually produced.
It starts with the award: classify each employee so Shiftly knows their base rate and entitlements, then customise your pay rules to tune penalties, overtime, breaks and allowances per award and preview the effect before they apply. Where someone is paid differently, adjust their rate with an uplift, a fixed rate, or per-category overrides. Finally, set each location's public holidays so public-holiday pay lands on exactly the right days.
