		+	The New 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.

		+	*Select the Department if required
		+	*Select the Pay Period, i.e. Weekly, Fortnightly, Monthly
		+	*Select the 'Super Type' from the dropdown, i.e. Percentage or Amount
		+	*Enter the 'Super Value' in relation to the Super Type just chosen, e.g. 9%
		+	*Tick to use the Default Super Threshold as per the Preferences set, or manually enter a Threshold for this Award
		+	*Tick if you wish to 'Pay Super on Leave Loading' for this new Award
		+
		+	*''''Sick Days Leave Max"''' defaults to 8. This is the maximum accumulated accrual allowed (not the maximum per year).

		+
		+	'*Meal Break Hours' is a manual entry field, e.g. 1 hour meal break for this Award.

		+	e.g. accrue Sick Leave between 1/3/07 and 31/8/07. This would be used only if an accrual rate changes such as if
		+	an employee went from casual to permanent.

		+	*Enter the 'Casual Loading' (if applicable), e.g. 5.00%
		+
		+	*'Advance to Next Level from Start Date/DOB' allows you to set an automatic progression for employees on this Award,
		+	e.g. An apprentice may start on a basic pay rate but progress to the next Pay Rate Level after a certain time or a birthday.
		+
		+	*Create other 'Classifications', e.g. Advanced and Super Advanced.
		+	*This will load into the 'Next Level' dropdown to enable selection, e.g. Employee's on this Award will be paid at the
		+	'Standard' pay rate for the first 6 months of employment, then he/she will automatically progress to the 'Advanced'
		+	pay rate thereafter, until further pay rate increases are selected manually.
		+
		+	*'Classification Allowances' is where you enter any [[Allowance]] that is to be available to any employee
		+	on this award, e.g. Meal.
		+	*Refer to [[Allowance]] for details on creating a new Allowance
		+	*Select the Allowance from the drop-down list of pre-set allowances.
		+	*Enter the Amount of the allowance
		+	*Select whether the Amount is in $ or is a %
		+	*Select from the drop-down list the basis of the allowance being paid, e.g. 'Pays'. Therefore every pay employees on
		+	this award will also receive an allowance of $40.00 unless changed in the employees file.
		+
		+	*Select 'Classification Deductions'.
		+	*Follow instructions as per 'Classification Allowance'.
		+	*Refer to [[Deductions]] for details on creating a new deduction
		+	*Select 'Classification Extra Pay Rates'.
		+	*Select the Pay Rate from the drop-down list, e.g. Time ½ or Compensation.
		+	*Select the 'Type' per pay rate, e.g. Time ½ is an Hourly Rate and Compensation is a Payout.
		+	*Enter the number of Hours in respect to each Pay Rate, e.g. the Time ½ rate is to be paid for a 38 hour week and the
		+	Compensation is a one off payment.
		+
		+	*Ensure the New Award you have just created is ticked as 'Active' (Active is the default setting).
		+	*Select 'SAVE' to complete your New Award.
		+	*The New Award just created will now be listed in your Awards List.
