Payroll & Compliance Software for Social Workers & Carers
Simplify payroll for social workers, carers, and disability support teams with BetterPayroll, purpose-built for SCHADS award compliance, mobile rostering, and ATO-ready reporting.
Why Care Agencies and Support Workers Choose BetterPayroll
Complex Awards and Compliance Risks
Employers face intricate pay rules, including penalty rates, broken shifts, sleepover allowances, and allowances under the SCHADS Award. Manual systems often cause misinterpretation, and costly underpayments. BetterPayroll applies digital award logic to automatically enforce compliance.
High Casual and Part-Time Workforce
The social services sector employs over 2.2 million Australians, with 77% in part-time or casual roles. Adding NDIS and aged care reforms further complicates payroll. BetterPayroll streamlines variable shift tracking, simplifying compliance and payroll accuracy.
