Miscellaneous Award (MiscA) [MA000104] – Deputy Help Center

This guide is your go-to for understanding how Deputy has interpreted the [MA000104] Miscellaneous Award.

We've built these rules based on the weekly interpretation from Fair Work.

Deputy's pay engine is super helpful, but it's not legal or payroll advice. You're still responsible for paying your staff correctly. Please review our Product Specific Terms for more information about your compliance responsibilities.

Important notes before using this award

These are Deputy's default pay rules. To customise them, use the Pay Rate Builder.
Averaging of Ordinary hours: Deputy cannot handle averaging ordinary hours over multiple periods.
Leave Loading: Manually add annual leave loading to timesheets, as Deputy won't include this automatically.
Higher Duties: This is done through Pay by Area.
Part Time employees default to 38 hours a week. To customise this, use Regular Working Hours.
