Mining operations are characterised by a unique set of workforce complexities that demand more than standard HR and payroll solutions. Microkeeper directly addressed these critical pain points faced by the industry:
The FIFO model presents significant logistical and administrative burdens. Coordinating flights, accommodation, shifts, and ensuring fair work-rest cycles for a large, mobile workforce can lead to manual nightmares, communication breakdowns, and compliance risk related to fatigue management.
Safety is paramount in mining. Adhering to rigorous OHS standards, industry-specific awards, Enterprise Bargaining Agreements (EBAs), and managing employee certifications (e.g., machinery licenses, site inductions) is non-negotiable. Manual tracking of licenses and training expiry dates is prone to errors, leading to breaches, fines, and serious safety incidents.
Mining sites are often in challenging, isolated locations with intermittent connectivity. Traditional scheduling struggles with dynamic changes, real time availability, and the need to assign highly skilled personnel to specific tasks across multiple, geographically dispersed work fronts.
Mining work involves highly intricate pay structures including:
Shift penalties: accurately calculating penalty rates for night shifts, weekends, and public holidays.
Allowances: managing various allowances like site allowances, height allowances, and living-away-from-home allowances (LAFHA).
Overtime: calculating varied overtime rates.
EBAs and Modern Awards: interpreting and applying specific conditions of numerous EBAs and the Mining Industry Award.
FIFO Specifics: accurately calculating pay for travel time and on-site allowances.
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.
