Enterprise Agreements are written for lawyers and Fair Work tribunals — not payroll teams. Misconfiguring your construction payroll against your EA is now a criminal liability risk. Your EA analysed and delivered as a structured, ready-to-implement Payroll Implementation Kit — within 72 hours of confirmed payment.

Every classification, base rate, and scheduled increase across all rate periods — extracted into a clean, dated table ready for payroll system entry.
Every allowance classified as all-purpose or not — with trigger condition, rate, source clause reference, and plain-English reason. The single most important configuration decision in construction payroll.
Every overtime and penalty rate, trigger, and condition extracted from your EA — including public holiday treatment and Award deferrals where applicable.
Project value tiers, City of Melbourne rates, and named project-specific rates where applicable — with CPI adjustment notes and override rules.
Fund, contribution type, OTE definition, and industry fund schedules (Incolink, CoInvest, IPT) with rate change years. Leave entitlements across all types with NES references and portable scheme flags.
High-risk clauses flagged throughout — scope traps, Award incorporation dependencies, all-purpose misclassification risk, and dual-document conditions.
Structured sign-off checklist for your payroll manager — every configuration item confirmed before the first pay run.
Weekly labour cost floor and ceiling, per-worker daily cost, rate increase trajectory across the EA term, and five-pay-month cashflow alerts — written for directors, not payroll staff.
Each EA provision mapped to practical payroll system configuration — earnings codes, leave type setup, allowance categories, and system-specific implementation notes.
Audience-specific extracts from the same EA — operations in hours not dollars, HR leave entitlements, project manager site scheduling brief. Each section goes only to the people who need it.
Gap analysis between your EA obligations and your current payroll configuration — structured for director sign-off and external audit use.
Enterprise Agreements covering construction, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, HVAC, civil, demolition, and related trades are complex legal documents — 50, 100, sometimes 180 pages of clause references, incorporated Awards, and conditional provisions. Getting any of it wrong — particularly all-purpose allowance treatment, site allowance tiers, or OTE calculations for superannuation — means backpays, Fair Work audit exposure, payroll rework, and potential criminal liability for directors since the January 2025 wage theft laws.
Find your registered agreement on the Fair Work Commission website and send us the link or document reference with your order.
We verify your details against the registered agreement before processing begins — protecting you from mismatched documents.
Your EA is processed through our full extraction and verification pipeline. Human quality check before anything leaves our desk.
Your Payroll Implementation Kit arrives by email within 72 hours of confirmed payment. Ready to use immediately.
Not a summary. Not a clause list. An operational document your payroll team can implement directly — without needing to open the Enterprise Agreement. Every payroll-relevant provision extracted, classified, and structured for immediate use. Covers construction and related trade industries operating under Enterprise Agreements registered with the Fair Work Commission — including CFMEU, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, HVAC, civil, demolition, and industrial services EAs across all Australian states and territories.
Why this is priced the way it is: A single Fair Work underpayment finding for a small construction or trade business can trigger $10,000–$50,000 in back-payments, plus legal costs and admin time to fix the payroll setup. Since January 2025, directors can face criminal prosecution for intentional underpayment. IR consultants charge $200–$400 per hour with no fixed ceiling. This kit gives you the same implementation clarity at a fixed, known cost — before problems start.

We will confirm receipt and deliver your kit within 72 hours.
Your EA contains information that different people in your business need in different formats. The Kit covers your payroll team. These additional reports are in development — each one extracts the relevant content from the same EA, formatted for a specific audience.
Weekly labour cost floor and ceiling, per-worker daily cost, rate increase trajectory across the EA term, five-pay-month cashflow alerts, and super & industry fund obligations as a fixed weekly number.
Overtime triggers in hours and days — not dollar amounts. RDO schedule and notice requirements. Shift constraints, higher duties rules, stand-down and inclement weather provisions. No pay rates.
Site allowance tiers by project value. Overtime availability and cancellation notice rules. RDO scheduling impact. Fatigue and shift span constraints. Written for scheduling decisions — not payroll processing.
Leave entitlements across all types — annual, personal, parental, FDV, compassionate, jury service, and long service leave. Portable scheme obligations. Record-keeping requirements. Written for HR, not payroll.
Gap analysis between your EA obligations and your current payroll configuration. Identifies underpayment risk before Fair Work does. Structured for director sign-off and external audit use.

This service was built on three decades of hands-on experience in Australian construction and related trade industries — across payroll, finance operations, contract administration, and industrial relations. That includes implementation work across multiple CFMEU Enterprise Agreements, electrical and mechanical EAs, and civil construction instruments.
That experience is what makes this different from a generic document tool. Every clause is read with the payroll consequences in mind. Every compliance risk flag is there because it has caused real underpayment problems in real Australian construction businesses. Built from direct experience with EA implementation failures, Fair Work remediation work, and the specific errors — all-purpose allowance misclassification, site allowance tier errors, OTE miscalculation — that drive construction payroll underpayments.
Small and medium construction and trade businesses deserve the same quality of Enterprise Agreement payroll implementation clarity that larger organisations pay IR consultants for — at a fixed, known cost. Where external source documents govern because the agreement expressly says they do, those dependencies are identified clearly in your kit.
