Modern Awards APIs

Modern Awards APIs for payroll and rostering software

Build Award context into your product using structured, maintained APIs for classifications, minimum rates, allowances, working time, rostering, penalties, overtime and leave.

Start with the capabilities your customers need today and progressively add deeper Award awareness without building and maintaining an internal Modern Awards content platform from scratch.

Modern Award capability is more than a pay table

Supporting Modern Awards in software quickly becomes more complex than maintaining minimum hourly rates.

An Award can affect which classification applies to an employee, minimum rates of pay, allowances, ordinary hours, span of hours, roster construction, minimum engagements, penalty rates, overtime, leave conditions and the interaction between those rules.

The deeper a payroll or workforce product moves into Award-aware workflows, the more regulatory interpretation and maintenance becomes part of the software lifecycle.

Intaxio provides that regulatory layer through structured APIs.

Designed for progressive adoption

Use foundation data broadly, then introduce deeper working-time and pay-rule capability as your product and coverage requirements mature.

Built for the software that manages work and pay

Payroll and HCM

Use Modern Award context to support better payroll configuration, validation and processing.

Select an applicable Award
Identify employee classifications
Retrieve minimum rates
Apply allowance information
Understand ordinary working-time conditions
Identify relevant penalty and overtime rules
Support Award-aware leave workflows

Rostering and workforce management

Use Modern Award rules earlier in the workforce lifecycle.

Ordinary hours
Spans of hours
Days of work
Shift conditions
Minimum engagements
Roster requirements
Penalty conditions and overtime triggers

From Award data to Award-aware workflows

Intaxio separates Modern Award capability into APIs that can be adopted progressively.

Awards & classifications

Identify Awards and navigate their classification structures.

Minimum rates

Retrieve structured minimum-rate information by classification and effective date.

Allowances

Access supported wage and expense allowances in structured form.

Standard hours

Understand supported ordinary working-time conditions.

Rostering rules

Consume structured conditions affecting how work may be rostered.

Penalty rules

Identify supported circumstances in which penalty conditions may apply.

Overtime rules

Access overtime conditions and triggers for downstream evaluation.

Leave rules

Use supported Award-specific leave provisions alongside your own leave workflows.

Coverage

Broad Award coverage. Progressive rule depth.

Australia's Modern Award system contains 121 Modern Awards. Foundation data can be available more broadly than the deeper rule resources required for payroll and rostering automation.

Award foundation

Award catalogue, classification and related foundation data.

Pay components

Rates, allowances and related supported resources.

Deeper rule capability

Working time, rostering, penalties, overtime and leave by supported Award and endpoint.

Coverage varies by Award and endpoint. Contact Intaxio for current production coverage.

Product boundary

Intaxio maintains the Award capability. You own the product experience.

Product experience

Setup, roster warnings, payroll validation, calculation, exception handling and automation.

Designed for regulatory change

Modern Awards are not static datasets. Rates change, Award clauses are varied and software needs to know when the relevant version applies.

Authoritative source context

Supported Award information is maintained against applicable Fair Work Commission source material.

Effective dating

Regulatory information can be associated with the period in which the relevant provision applies.

Versioned APIs

Technical contract changes are separated from routine regulatory content changes.

Controlled production release

Structured resources move through processing, review, testing and release controls.

You don't need to automate everything on day one

A product can progressively move through different levels of Award awareness.

Observe

Show the Award, classification, minimum rates and relevant conditions.

Advise

Use structured rules to identify conditions that may need attention.

Assist

Help users configure payroll or rostering workflows using Award-aware information.

Automate

Use supported structured capability as part of automated workflows where sufficient context exists.

Commercial model

Enterprise API licensing

Modern Awards APIs are licensed to software providers for incorporation into their own products.

Commercial scope can reflect:

The Awards required
API capabilities required
Test and production access
Expected capacity
Implementation and onboarding requirements
Support requirements

Final scope and commercial arrangements are documented through the applicable customer agreement and Order Form.
