A look inside

Today, at a glance.

Labour %, Sales and Wages for the day so far, beside the latest pay calcs. This is the screen most Owners leave open.

Everything in one place when the regulator comes knocking.

Every pay period checked: what each staff member should have been paid, what they were paid, and the gap. Underpayment is calculated and the report is ready to export.

Labour against sales, while there's still time to act.

Labour cost as a percentage of revenue, live, against your own target. When a site exceeds the plan, the Manager on shift hears about it immediately.

Tomorrow, already worked out.

Sales history, bookings and the weather build tomorrow's forecast hour by hour, and Worksauce suggests a roster to match. On the day, it tracks labour against that forecast minute by minute.

Every site on one screen.

Sales, forecast, wages and labour % side by side, so you know which site needs a check-in while there's still trade left to save.

Every shift, in hand.

Live hours and breaks for the people actually on shift, with timecards you can correct on the spot, direct from Worksauce.

Two people, two sets of questions

The Owner needs to know pay is right. The Manager needs to know what to do next.

Worksauce answers both from the same data. Here is what that looks like in an ordinary week.

OwnerMonday · 8:30 am

"Was everyone paid correctly last week?"

The Awarditor has already checked the pay run against the Award, person by person, and kept the calculations.

Labour cost against sales, live, with the people behind the number and how long they've been on.

"Has anyone told Ben to take his break?"

Messages and nudges go to who is actually on shift, so the break, the announcement or the change doesn't depend on someone looking at the time.

Illustrative figures

Our story

Not built in a lab, but on the floor.

Worksauce started inside a business that had to move a large workforce onto modern Awards, and found that no payroll system could model them properly. So the people doing the work built the model themselves.

The model was checked against years of past pay, then tested in due diligence, where external accountants endorsed the approach. Spreadsheets don’t scale, so the model became code: the Awarditor. Today it’s Worksauce.

We believe that data should do more than just sit in a dashboard. It should drive decisions, improve operations, and create better experiences for everyone.
Award Finder · free

Not sure which Award covers your team? Ask the Award Finder.

It's an interview, not a form. It asks what it needs to know about your business and your people, and stops when it has enough.

  1. 1Finds your Award, or Awards. Some businesses fall under more than one.
  2. 2Classifies your roles within each Award, so you know what every position should be paid.
