EBA and Awards Interpretation
EBA award interpretation software that pays every crew member correctly
Neo is EBA payroll software built for construction businesses.

Fewer payroll errors mean labour costs you can trust and margin that isn't quietly lost to overpayments or back-pay claims.
Trusted by small, medium and large subcontractors across Australia
EBA software for construction that applies Australian awards automatically
Neo's award interpretation software reads approved timesheets and applies the correct EBA and award rules in minutes, not hours. Price your next job on real labour costs, protect fixed-price margin and process payroll with confidence knowing every hour is interpreted the same way, every pay run.
Interpret award rules against timesheets
Award conditions are applied directly to approved timesheet data, so there is no manual or spreadsheet calculation before payroll. Automated award interpretation removes the guesswork that erodes margin on fixed-price work.
Apply allowances and penalties correctly
Overtime, site allowances and penalties are calculated against project and site rules, so labour costs reflect the work your crew actually performed. No hidden cost leakage and no allowances missed when you price the next tender.
Keep EBA compliance consistent at scale
Different EBAs and site conditions are applied automatically by project and location. That reduces reliance on one person's knowledge and keeps compliance exposure low as you win more sites.
Generate payroll-ready schedules faster
Interpreted results are prepared for review and approval, then sent to your payroll system. Construction payroll that used to take days is ready in minutes, with no end-of-pay-cycle scramble.
Apply EBAs and company awards without manual checking
Award rules are interpreted automatically from live timesheet data, removing the need for spreadsheets, payroll workarounds or one person's individual knowledge. Complex Australian construction EBAs and modern awards are applied consistently and accurately in minutes, not hours, so payroll stops being a source of margin risk.
Apply the right rules for every job and location
Different EBAs, allowances and conditions are applied automatically based on project, site location and work type. Labour costs reflect the work actually performed on each site, which means you tender and price the next job on numbers you can trust.
Send accurate award data straight to payroll
Interpreted award results are prepared as a payroll schedule for review and approval, then pushed directly into your payroll systems. This construction payroll software workflow removes rework, reduces errors and speeds up every pay run.
