Mining operations face challenges that standard HR and payroll systems can't handle well.
Microkeeper is built to address the key pressure points.
The FIFO model creates a lot of admin:
Coordinating flights, transfers and accommodation.
Managing rosters across swings and rotations.
Balancing work and rest to reduce fatigue risk.
Without the right tools, this turns into manual work, misscommunication and compliance risks.
Safety is non-negotiable in mining. You need to keep up with:
OHS regulations and site rules.
Industry awards and Enterprise Bargaining Agreements (EBAs).
Licenses, medicals, inductions, and site-specific training.
Manual tracking of licenses and expirydates is slow and error-prone. A missed expiry or incorrect classification can lead to breaches, fines and serious incidents.
Mining sites are often remote, spread across regions and dealing with patchy connectivity.
This makes it harder to:
Keep rosters up-to-date in real time.
Assign skilled staff to specific equipment or work fronts.
Manage availability across multiple sites, camps and contracts.
Traditional scheduling tools are not built for this level of change and complexity.
Mining payroll is rarely simple. You may need to manage:
Shift penalties: penalty rates for nights, weekends and public holidays.
Allowances: site allowances, height allowances, living-away-from-home allowances (LAFHA) and more.
Overtime: different overtime rules and thresholds.
EBAs and Modern Awards: including the Mining Industry Awards and site-specific EBAs.
FIFO specifics: travel time, on-site allowances and remote loading.
Manual payroll processing under these conditions is time-consuming, highly susceptible to errors, and carries significant risk of underpayment or overpayment, leading to costly disputes or non-compliance.
