Compliance with the Building and Construction General On-site Award [MA000020] is mandatory for every tradesperson in Australia. 2026 brings new penalty rates and meal allowance rules.
1. Apprentice Rates and Tool Allowances
Are you paying your apprentices the correct progression rates for 2026? We automate these increments and ensure tool allowances are accurately recorded for their tax benefit.
2. Meal Allowances and Site Travel
Under the Award, certain travel and meal costs must be paid even if the employee uses their own car. We setup these pay items in Xero so you're never underpaying and risking a Fair Work audit.
3. 2026 Superannuation Obligations
The "Payday Super" rules mean you need to pay super contributions as frequent as your wages. We automate this for your tradie workforce.
