If you wish to use Industry Awards, they need to be set up in your Finance Environment. The pathway to the Industry Awards area is: Protocols > Industry Awards

After you select Industry Awards, the following screen will appear.

To set up an Industry Award, it needs to exist in the first instance. To create the Award, please select the Create / Edit Award button in this screen.

In the next pop up screen, you will see a list of awards that already exist, to create a new award you need to scroll down to the Award Name field. In this field you need to enter the name of the award you wish to create. For the purposes of this document, we are creating the Demonstration Award.

Please Note: The status will default to Active, please leave the default as it appears

Once you have the Award Name field complete and the Status is showing as ACTIVE, select Save

You will receive a confirmation message “Award name saved successfully”, please select OK

This will return you to the original screen, you can now select the award you just created by using the drop down in the Award Name field. This field is also dynamic so you can start typing the name of the award and it will appear for selection.

To complete the award set up, we now need to move through each of the tabs and complete the information required.

The first tab is Shifts Protocols

The information entered in this tab tells the system what your shifts are. These protocols will override any information entered in a booking by Allocations staff and, will therefore display it correctly in Confirm Shifts.

To enter information in this tab, you need to select Click here to add a new row

The system will then automatically provide you with a data row to add.

You need to set protocols for all of your shift types but, for the purposes of this document, we are going to set up a protocol for weekdays ( Monday – Friday ). We will be working left to right.

Day Type

If you click on Select under the heading of Day Type, a blank field will appear as well as a drop down option. The Day Type options are Weekdays, Weekend or Public Holiday so you can either start typing the day option you wish to set or, you can use the drop down and select the required day type.

Shift Day

Again, you can either start typing your shift day or, you can use the drop down to select.

As we are setting the protocol for Monday – Friday, we are going to select ALL here. If you needed to set a specific protocol for a specific day, you can select either Monday, Tuesday, etc

Start or End Time            Please Note: Times need to be in 24hr format

There are only two options in this field, Start Time or End Time

We are going to select, start time here which means this protocol relates to a shift starting at a particular time and the system will look at start times of shifts to apply the protocol. If you select End Time, then the system will look at the end time of a shift and apply the set protocol.

From Time                         Please Note: Times need to be in 24hr format

We are going to enter a From ( start ) time of 7:00am here. To enter 7:00am as a from time, you simply type 0700 and the system will then enter it correctly.

To Time                              Please Note: Times need to be in 24hr format

We are going to enter a To ( finish ) time of 3:00pm here. To enter 3:00pm as a to time, you simply type 1500 and the system will then enter it correctly.
