AgCore documentation
How AgCore works: getting started, the ideas behind the workforce and farm records, and where to find the step-by-step guides.
These pages explain what AgCore does and why it does it that way. They’re sorted by what you need at the time: the first-week setup, a single job you want done, the thinking behind a setting, or a list you look something up in.
New here? Start with Welcome to AgCore. Pages marked In the app live behind the login at app.agcore.com.au/docs — they name buttons and screens you can only see once you’re signed in. Pages marked Planned aren’t written in the app yet; public overview pages can still exist alongside them.
Getting Started
The first week — from an empty account to a first pay run.
- Welcome to AgCoreIn the appWhat AgCore does for an Australian farm employer — workforce records, time and attendance, hiring and pay — and where the guides for each part live.

- Set up your farm organisationIn the appHow an AgCore Organisation holds one farm employer, when to create another, and what becomes available after setup.
- Set up your farm property mapHow AgCore brings cadastral lots, a farm boundary, land facts, water sources and infrastructure into one property record for an Australian farm business.
- Add your first farm employeesIn the appHow AgCore employee records bring worker details, Departments, agreements and work activity together, and when to use manual entry or an eForm.

Concepts
The background behind a decision — what a setting means before you tick it.
- Small business employer (Fair Work §23)In the app
- How piece rates workPlannedHow farm piece rates, piecework records, daily minimum wage guarantees and Top-ups fit together under the Horticulture Award, and what AgCore records.
- How the piecework minimum-wage guarantee worksHow AgCore checks a farm worker's piecework pay against their resolved wage rate and the live Horticulture Award floor, and when a Top-up appears.
- What a worker agreement recordsHow AgCore preserves an Australian farm worker agreement: published terms, Fair Work acknowledgements, employer review and a pinned compliance record.
- Why an agreed wage rate is lockedHow an AgCore wage agreement pins the exact farm worker pay rate, then creates a dated rate record that later Pay Type changes cannot rewrite.
- How farm Accounts and Organisations fit togetherPlannedHow AgCore separates one farm Account from employing Organisations, property records and Departments, so multi-business workforce records stay contained.
- How farm Departments organise people and workHow farm Department workforce management groups people and work without changing pay, and how membership differs from the Department on a Time Entry.
- Personal, Account and Organisation settingsHow farm management software separates personal choices, Account administration and each Organisation's setup so a change reaches the right person or business.
- How AgCore handles Tax File NumbersHow AgCore handles employee Tax File Numbers for farm payroll: pending declarations, encrypted and audited access, and destruction after payroll transfer.
