# Entitlements

Entitlements provide a way of grouping employees based on their terms and conditions of employment. An Entitlement for an employee acts as a template that specifies which Pay items and which Leave items the employee should be assigned and also specifies a default rate of superannuation.

An Entitlement is usually used to specify to which award an employee belongs from an industrial relations perspective. Once an Entitlement for an employee has been selected, the individual Pay and Leave items for that employee can be tailored to suit the individual.
