Empower your frontline. Protect your bottom line.

Enterprise compliance and predictive agility, made for highly distributed, shift-based workforces — every roster carrying the exact Modern Award clause that justified it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Awards and Agreements does it support?

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.

01

Dynamic Award Interpretation

EBA & Modern Award mapping, in real time

Every shift is checked against the applicable Modern Award and Enterprise Agreement at the moment it's rostered, swapped, or paid. Overtime, penalties, allowances, and rest-break rules are applied consistently across every site — without anyone needing to remember the clause.

Key Benefits
  • Modern Award and EBA clause library, kept current
  • Real-time penalty, overtime, and allowance calculation
  • Rest-break and minimum-engagement enforcement
  • Defensible audit trail for every interpretation
02

Predictive Demand Rostering

Rosters made on demand, not gut feel

made. Workforce forecasts demand at the site level — using historicals, events, weather, and operational signals — then proposes rosters that meet demand at minimum award-compliant cost. Site managers approve in minutes instead of building from scratch.

Key Benefits
  • Site-level demand forecasting
  • Roster proposals optimised for award-compliant cost
  • Skill, qualification, and licence matching
  • One-click manager approval with override audit
03

Automated Shift Triage

Sudden absences, handled before 6am

When a staff member calls in sick, made. Workforce takes the call (via made. Voice if needed), updates the roster, identifies eligible replacement staff with the right skill and award status, and offers shifts in order — all before the site manager has had coffee.

Key Benefits
  • Automated absence intake via phone or app
  • Replacement matching by skill, licence, and award status
  • Sequenced shift offers via SMS or push
  • Live roster update with manager-in-the-loop approval
04

Conversational HR Support

Answers for staff, 24/7, on policy and pay

Staff can ask — in plain language — what they're owed, when they're rostered, how much leave they have, or how a clause applies to them. made. Workforce answers from the source-of-truth EBA and policy library, citing the clause, and escalates to a human when the question requires judgment.

Key Benefits
  • Plain-language HR and pay questions, answered with citations
  • Multilingual support for diverse frontline teams
  • Available via app, SMS, or made. Voice phone line
  • Smart escalation to HR for judgment-required cases
