Define your pay levels
Create each level with a code, a name and an optional group, then add its line items, each carrying a rate and unit. Structure them the way your organisation and roles actually work.
Staff & Workforce
Pay levels that drive timesheets.
Configure pay levels and assign them so timesheet lines carry the right rate.
What you get with Pay levels.
- Configurable pay levels
Set up the pay levels your award and roles need, your way.
- Assigned per staff/contract
Each person carries the right rate, so pay is correct from the start.
- Flows into timesheet lines
Pay levels drop straight onto timesheet lines, with no manual rate lookups.
Why it exists
The problem it solves.
When rates live in a spreadsheet, the wrong rate finds its way onto timesheets, payroll queries multiply, and updating pay after an award change means hunting through every record. BondiByte holds your pay levels in one place, and staff, contracts and timesheets read from it.
How it works
Confirm them against your awards
BondiByte applies your rates consistently; confirming them against the relevant awards and the Fair Work system stays your responsibility.
Assign a level to each staff member
Pick the pay level on the staff profile, during onboarding or later. From then on, that person carries the right rate context everywhere.
Timesheets pick up the right line
During timesheet review, each line carries a pay-level line item with its rate and unit visible, and managers can change the selected line before approval.
Flow into contracts and payroll
Pay-level line items feed staff contracts, and approved timesheets export in MYOB and Employment Hero formats for your payroll process.
What you can do.
A pay level catalogue
Codes, names and groups that mirror how your organisation actually structures pay.
Line items with rates and units
Each level holds one or more line items, each with its own rate and unit, so a level can cover the real variations in how people are paid.
Assignment per staff member
Every staff profile carries its pay level, set once and used everywhere.
Rate context on every timesheet line
Reviewers see and select the pay-level line item per timesheet line, with the rate shown, before anything is approved.
Contract-ready
Pay-level line items flow into staff contracts, so what is signed matches what is configured.
Payroll-friendly exports
Approved timesheets export in MYOB and Employment Hero formats.
How it connects.
- Define pay levels
- Assign on the staff profile
- Into staff contracts
- Onto timesheet lines
You stay in control.
BondiByte applies your configured rates consistently. Confirming them against awards and Fair Work is explicitly your call, and the product never pretends otherwise.
If a timesheet line carries the wrong pay-level line item, the reviewer changes it before approval, not after payroll.
Old pay levels can be deactivated and kept out of day-to-day pickers while remaining on record.

Frequently asked questions.
Does BondiByte set award rates for us?
No. You define your pay levels and rates, and you confirm them against the relevant awards and the Fair Work system. BondiByte then applies them consistently across staff, contracts and timesheets.
Can one pay level hold more than one rate?
Yes. Each level carries line items, and each line item has its own rate and unit, so one level can cover the variations within a role.
What if a timesheet line has the wrong rate context?
The manager reviewing the timesheet selects the correct pay-level line item on that line before approving, with the rate visible in the picker.
Do pay levels show up in staff contracts?
Yes. Staff contracts pull in pay-level line items, so the rates in the signed document come from the same source the rest of the platform uses.
Can we get timesheet data out for payroll?
Yes. Approved timesheets export in MYOB and Employment Hero formats.

Staff & Workforce
Staff management overview
Profiles, capabilities, pay, and contracts in one connected record.
Staff & WorkforceStaff profiles & onboarding
Add one support worker in minutes, or bring your whole team across in a single CSV import. Every staff record starts complete: contact and emergency details, employment and right to work, pay level, sites and rostering preferences, so rostering, timesheets and compliance work properly from day one.
Staff & WorkforceCapabilities & qualification expiry
Every qualification, clearance and check lives on the staff record, backed by the actual document. When evidence is due to expire, BondiByte chases the renewal, and staff without current mandatory evidence are simply not offered the shifts that require it.
Staff & WorkforceMax-hours & capacity controls
Set safe working limits once and every roster respects them. Site defaults set the baseline, per-person caps handle real employment arrangements, and Smart Rostering will not assign anyone past their limit.
Staff & WorkforceAvailability & leave
Staff record when they can and cannot work, leave is entered with real dates, and the roster honours all of it automatically. Nobody gets rostered into a window they told you they could not work.
Staff & WorkforceStaff requests & approvals
Swaps, cancellations, open-shift claims, leave, document uploads and AI review items all land in one Approvals queue. Each request arrives with the context to make the call, and every decision leaves a record.
