🚨Wage remediation doesn’t need to cost universities more than the wages owed. Many universities are grappling with wage non-compliance, where the complexity of enterprise agreements (EAs) and outdated payroll systems are forcing costly, manual interventions.Traditional audit methods often rely on heavily manual effort, sampling techniques and opaque spreadsheet use - leading to excessive consultant fees, delayed results, and transparency risks. There’s a better way. At Imminently, we’ve developed a purpose-fit legal interpretation technology that eliminates unnecessary costs while delivering precise, traceable, and reliable results, configured to handle the complexities of university enterprise agreements and workforce dynamics: ✅ Full interpretation of all EA legal clauses, including historical agreements, in natural language form. ✅ Transparent recalculations, pay-by-pay, with plain English reports for full clarity. ✅ Automatic retrospective assessments without disrupting existing systems or burdening IT teams. ✅ Compliance aligned with Fair Work Ombudsman principles of fairness, accuracy, and transparency. The recent development at University of Sydney has made it clear that universities need an alternative to inefficient, resource-intensive methods. Our approach future-proofs wage compliance, restores trust, and ensures that financial resources are spent efficiently - essential for a sector already under significant financial pressure. 📩 If your institution is looking to identify and resolve wage issues with greater precision, fewer resources, and full transparency, let’s connect. Together, we can reduce costs, mitigate risks, and safeguard your reputation as a responsible employer. #HigherEducation #WageCompliance #UniversitySector #TechnologyForGood #FairWork 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gxF2uGWC

Modern awards and enterprise agreements are incredibly complex, and even the most advanced payroll systems struggle to fully address them. Critical gaps in handling agreements, interpreting awards, and applying entitlements leave businesses vulnerable to errors, non-compliance, and escalating scrutiny. The Problem ⚠️ Complex Awards: Current systems aren’t designed to handle the full scope of agreements and awards in their natural form. ⚠️ Manual Processes: Many businesses rely on off-system handling, especially for edge cases, where errors are most likely to occur. ⚠️ Auditability: Regulators demand transparent, traceable records - manual fixes simply won’t suffice.   With increasing regulatory focus, including the criminalisation of wage theft taking effect in January 2025, businesses need more than standard payroll systems - they need technology that bridges the gap between complex regulations and operational capabilities.   🌟 Bridging the Gap with EdWard EdWard is designed to address the critical edge gaps where most payroll errors occur - manual, off-system processes that fail to align with agreements and awards. Our advanced solution bridges the divide between regulations and what existing technology can achieve, empowering businesses to: ✅ Ensure accurate and compliant pay calculations ✅ Maintain always-on audit trails for transparency ✅ Proactively monitor compliance in real-time and resolve issues before they escalate ✅ Automate and streamline payroll operations with confidence Don’t let your business fall behind.
