01
The problem

Running a small business is hard enough without HR keeping you up at night.

HR doesn't fail at 10am in a meeting room. It fails off-hours, when a manager makes a call without the right information — no documented warning, no fair process, no paper trail.

Compliance

Award compliance is a minefield

Penalty rates, allowances, casual loading — one miscalculation and you're facing a back-pay claim that wipes out months of margin.

Paperwork

Paperwork you didn't sign up for

Warning letters, contracts, PIPs — you started a business to run it well, not to become an HR administrator.

After hours

HR crises don't keep business hours

A key staff member walks out at 10pm Saturday. Your HR consultant isn't picking up. You're on your own — until Fitz.

02
The difference

Why generic AI can't do Australian HR.

Ask a general-purpose chatbot what a casual bartender earns on a Sunday and you'll get a confident guess. Ask Fitz, and you'll get the actual answer — grounded in your award. That difference is the whole product.

vs generic HR platformsA mile wide, an inch deep

The big platforms don't calculate a SCHADS broken shift or a hospitality Sunday penalty. Fitz does — because it's built award-first, not stretched to fit.

vs generic AIConfident, wrong, and costly

General chatbots aren't trained on your award's specific provisions. They give a confident answer that won't hold up under Fair Work scrutiny. Fitz answers from the instruments themselves.

vs HR consultantsGreat advice, terrible hours

Expensive, not 24/7, and they don't scale to routine questions. Fitz answers instantly — and still gives you qualified HR professionals for the hard calls.

Fitz = award-deep + instant + human backup + affordable

03
Seven awards, known cold

The hardest awards, for the industries that can least afford to get them wrong.

These aren't random. They're the award-dependent, penalty-heavy, shift-based frontline workforces with little in-house HR and high Fair Work exposure. Tell Fitz your award once, and every answer, rate and document is built on it.

04
The four pillars

One tool instead of a consultant, a lawyer and a template folder.

Fitz answers like a consultant, documents like a lawyer, and never sends an hourly invoice.

Award depth

Every answer grounded in your actual award

Not generic HR. Pay rates, penalties, allowances and entitlements answered from the award that governs your team — in plain English, under 90 seconds.

Documents that hold up

Paperwork aligned to your award and your situation

Employment contracts, warnings, PIPs and terminations — tailored to your award's classifications, rates and clauses. 8 questions, one legally sound document.

Human escalation

Real HR professionals, not just a chatbot

Expert-reviewed documents and bookable consultations with qualified HR professionals for crisis and complex matters — so the hard calls never rest on AI alone.

Any hour

HR fails off-hours. Fitz doesn't.

Crisis support is included on every plan, 24/7 — because walkouts, no-shows and misconduct don't wait for Monday morning.

How it works

Up and running in 60 seconds.

No setup. No training. Just ask.

Type your question

Anything — from shift loadings to how to handle a no-show. Plain English, no legal jargon needed.

"What's the afternoon shift loading for a C10 in manufacturing?"

Fitz thinks, then answers

Instant guidance grounded in your modern award and the Fair Work Act. Under 90 seconds, every time.

Under the Manufacturing Award (MA000010), afternoon shift attracts a loading on the ordinary rate — here's the exact figure for your classification…

Take action — or generate a document

Follow the guidance, or let Fitz produce the letter, contract or warning notice on the spot.

Small businesses like yours, moments like these
We had a kitchen hand walk out mid-Saturday service after an altercation. I was convinced we were going to get a claim lodged against us. Fitz walked me through exactly what to say, what to document, and what to avoid. We handled it correctly. No claim, no drama.
Business Owner · Inner West Sydney

Same story in every sector — a support worker no-shows a 2am shift, a theft allegation on a Sunday, misconduct on night shift. What decides the outcome is the call the manager makes in that moment. Fitz makes sure it's the right one.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

What's the best HR software for a small business in Australia?

The best small-business HR software answers Australian-specific questions — awards, penalty rates, Fair Work — without setup or training. Fitz HR is built for exactly that: your award, not generic HR. Award-grounded answers in under 90 seconds and compliant documents in minutes, with a free tier to start.

Do I need HR software if I only have a few employees?

Even one employee puts you inside the Fair Work system — awards, NES entitlements, proper process for warnings and dismissal. One miscalculated penalty rate can become a back-pay claim. Fitz gives you the answers and documents without hiring anyone.

How much does Fitz HR cost for a small business?

The free tier includes 20 AI chats/month and unlimited HR tools. Paid plans run $249–$899/year, with a 14-day money-back guarantee on all paid plans.

Is it hard to set up?

No — you're up and running in 60 seconds. There's no implementation, no training and no onboarding project. Tell Fitz your award and start asking questions.

Can it write employment contracts for my staff?

Yes. The Employment Contract Builder tailors contracts to your modern award — with the correct classification, pay rates, leave entitlements and award-specific clauses.

What if I have a genuine HR crisis?

Fitz includes crisis support on every plan and is available 24/7 — because staff walkouts and misconduct don't keep business hours.
