Construction workers typically fall under the Building and Construction Award 2020. This award outlines minimum pay rates, allowances, penalty rates for overtime, weekends, and public holidays. Payroll software can ensure you’re paying your workers correctly based on their classification (e.g., carpenter, bricklayer, laborer).

Apprentices and trainees have specific pay rates and conditions outlined in the relevant award. Payroll software can help calculate their wages based on their experience level and ensure compliance with their training requirements.

Construction workers may be entitled to various allowances depending on the site location and conditions, such as dirty work allowances, confined space allowances, or working at heights allowances. Payroll software can help manage these allowances and ensure they’re reflected accurately in workers’ pay.

Construction is a high-risk industry with a higher chance of work-related accidents or injuries. Workers’ compensation insurance protects your business from financial liability if an employee gets injured on the job. It covers medical expenses, lost wages, and rehabilitation costs for injured workers.

While workers’ compensation insurance isn’t directly processed through payroll software, it can indirectly affect your payroll calculations.

The cost of your workers’ compensation insurance policy is often based on factors like the type of construction work you do, your claims history, and your payroll. This means higher-risk projects or a history of claims may lead to higher premiums, impacting your overall labor costs. Some workers’ compensation plans may also have employee deductibles, meaning the employee might be responsible for a small portion of their initial medical expenses. This could temporarily affect their take-home pay.
