The problem

Award interpretation is broken. Everyone knows it.

$

Billions in underpayments

Woolworths. 7-Eleven. Domino's. Commonwealth Bank. The biggest brands in Australia got award rates wrong. Small businesses don't stand a chance doing it manually.

Payroll software guesses

Your payroll system interprets awards based on its own rules. No independent check. No second opinion. You're trusting one system with zero verification.

!

Penalties are severe

Fair Work penalties reach $93,900 per contravention for companies. With Payday Super changes in 2026, the compliance surface area just got bigger.

How it works

Three steps. Zero payroll changes.

01

Upload your timesheets

CSV, Excel, or direct integration with your existing payroll. We work with what you have.

02

We check against Fair Work

AwardLens validates every line against the Fair Work Commission's Modern Awards Pay Database API. The government's own source of truth.

03

See what's wrong, fix it fast

Get a clear compliance report: which employees, which rates, what the award says vs. what you paid. Fix issues before payroll runs.

Why AwardLens

A compliance layer, not another payroll system.

Data source

Powered by the FWC MAPD API

We don't interpret awards from PDFs or build our own rules engine. We pull directly from the Fair Work Commission's Modern Awards Pay Database, the same data the regulator uses.

Compatibility

Works with any payroll

Xero. MYOB. KeyPay. Spreadsheets. AwardLens validates your output regardless of what system produced it.

Coverage

Every Modern Award

Hospitality, retail, clerks, construction, healthcare, manufacturing. If Fair Work covers it, AwardLens checks it.

Timing

Pre-payroll, not post-audit

Run the check before you pay your staff. Catch rate errors, missing penalties, and wrong overtime before they become underpayments.

Evidence

Compliance reports you can keep

Every validation generates a timestamped report. If Fair Work comes knocking, you have proof you checked.

Every Australian worker deserves to be paid correctly. Every Australian business deserves a simple way to make sure they are.

AwardLens is building the compliance layer the payroll industry never built.
