Sleepover arrangements under the Social, Community, Home Care and Disability Services Industry Award 2010 (SCHADS Award) are changing, and many employers are seeking clarity on what this means for rostering, payroll and compliance risk.
Maguire Legal is presenting a free employer webinar to provide a clear, practical explanation of the Fair Work Commission’s recent decision, the proposed SCHADS Award variations, and how these changes are expected to operate in practice.
This session will explain:
- what the Fair Work Commission decided and why the SCHADS Award was found to be ambiguous
- whether employers are exposed to retrospective or ongoing compliance risk
- how the proposed Award changes will affect sleepover rostering, shift penalties and overtime
- what employers, HR and payroll teams should be doing now to prepare
The webinar is designed for executives, HR professionals, payroll and operational leaders in organisations with employees covered by the SCHADS Award.
A live Q&A session will follow the presentation.
Date: Wednesday, 28 January 2026
