'''Do you understand the importance of the "Award" and how to set it up?'''

The '''Award +''' button allows the User to create new awards specific to their own industry/business. An '''Award''' affects the rate of pay, deductions, and allowances, along with other aspects of a pay such as superannuation. Therefore please ensure you familiarise yourself with deductions and allowances etc, before creating new awards. '''Payroll Preferences''' is another key area to understand before proceeding to create new awards.

A specific '''Award''' can be attributed to an '''Employee''' from within the '''Employee Card'''. The User must have '''Payroll Access''' to have the ability to load all the required settings for each employee.
