Enterprise compliance and predictive agility, made for highly distributed, shift-based workforces — every roster carrying the exact Modern Award clause that justified it.
All current Modern Awards plus your own Enterprise Agreements, registered EBAs, and individual flexibility arrangements. The clause library is maintained centrally so updates from the Fair Work Commission flow through without you needing to chase them.
Does it replace our payroll system?
No. made. Workforce sits in front of payroll. It interprets shifts, applies award rules, and produces a clean, audit-ready feed to your existing payroll platform — so your payroll runs unchanged but the inputs are compliant.
What happens when a clause is ambiguous?
Ambiguity is surfaced, not silently resolved. The platform records the interpretation, cites the source clause, flags the uncertainty for HR/IR review, and applies the conservative reading by default. Once a definitive interpretation is locked in, it propagates across every site.
How does the absence call-in work?
Staff can call a dedicated line, message via the app, or send an SMS. made. Voice handles the phone channel — multilingual, available 24/7 — and routes the absence straight into the roster. Eligible replacements are offered the shift in priority order.
How does the made. Ledger apply to made. Workforce?
Every shift, swap, penalty calculation, and pay decision made. Workforce produces is cross-referenced to the precise Modern Award or EBA clause that triggered it — and that interpretation is anchored to the made. Ledger as a cryptographic, immutable record. When the Fair Work Ombudsman or an internal auditor asks why a particular allowance was paid, Head Office can defend the roster clause-by-clause, shift-by-shift.
Where is the data hosted?
Australian-hosted and sovereign. Worker data is ring-fenced inside your environment, encrypted in transit and at rest, and never used to train external public models. See the shared architecture.
Head Office and site managers are fighting two different battles.
Head Office loses sleep over compliance
Decentralised wage decisions. Modern Award misinterpretations. EBA clauses applied inconsistently across sites. One wrong call, multiplied across thousands of shifts, becomes a back-pay liability — and a board-level problem.
Site managers lose hours to the roster
Manual rostering. Sudden absences phoned in at 5am. Last-minute scrambles to cover shifts. The frontline managers you hired to run sites end up running a spreadsheet — and the staff who called in sick can't even check what their next shift is.
Four capabilities. From Head Office to the floor.
made. Workforce bridges corporate governance and on-the-ground agility, automating predictive rostering and real-time award compliance — and giving staff a conversational way to get what they need.
