To update your PDLs select your company in Wage Easy.
Go to Setup, Associations, and select an Association that is applicable to your company.
Select Edit, Internet, Update Now, Next.
When completing the update, you can choose any or all of the following 3 items – Allowances, Awards and Base Pay Rates (not Tax Tables & Rebates).
Note: By updating the Awards, you will be loading that part of the Modern Award in full. Any manual changes to descriptions, amounts, and conditions that you have made to your Awards will be overwritten and replaced with WageEasy’s standard Casual Modern Award setup as per our interpretation of the Award obtained from Fair Work.
Caution: If you have made any amendments or customisations to the standard award configurations previously supplied by WageEasy, for example, Award provisions such as Ordinary Hours and Penalty Rates, State Long Service Leave Accrual Rates or Leave Loading (particularly in Salary Awards), you should be aware that if you apply the latest PDL update you will be overwriting all of the customisations you have made to the related award configurations in your WageEasy company file/s.
Alternatively, you can keep your customised award configurations and still update the pay rates and allowances by ticking to update Pay Rates and Allowances only; also, remember to manually update the Superannuation Guarantee Quarterly Cap.
Select Next then the Load from Disk File radio button, and select the ellipsis [...].
Browse for the PDL in the Update PDL Folder in your home drive:

It is IMPERATIVE that for this update to take full effect, you close and reopen WageEasy after loading the file, and that upon reopening, ensure the PPE date is at a date after the effective date of the updated award.
