🎯 Update Awards is the third section in Awards/Agreements. When selected, the Fair Work MAPD API is checked to confirm if the Operative From date has changed for any of the Awards/Classifications you have previously added in Awards. If the Operative From date has changed, these Awards will be listed, allowing you to filter the results and Ignore, Match or Increase the Rate Per Hour set in the Award to that defined by Fair Work.

Match is available for both Current Rate ≥ Current Fair Work Rate and Current Rate < Current Fair Work Rate are selected, which allows you to increase the Current Rate set in the Award to match the Current Fair Work Rate.
Increase allows you to increase the Current Rate set in the Award to the Current Fair Work Rate PLUS the amount displayed in Difference, except when Current Rate < Current Fair Work Rate is selected, where the Current Rate set in the Award increases to match the Current Fair Work Rate.

The Awards List displays the Modern Award, Classification, Prior FW Rate (based on the last Operative From date), Current Rate Per Hour set in the Award, the Difference between the Prior FW Rate and the Current Rate, and the Current FW Rate (based on the most recent Operative From date).
