Did you know new award pay rates & allowances come into effect from July 2017?
Where do I get the new rates?
You can check the new rates by reviewing the appropriate award via the Fair Work Ombudsman web site.
If you need some help, contact Lisa Lee Human Resources Manager at Classic Recruitment & Human Resources.
Who do the new rates apply to?
The increases apply to all employees whose pay rates come from:
- the national minimum wage
- a modern award or
- a registered agreement (in some cases).
The increase won’t affect employees who are already getting paid more than the new minimum wages. Are you confident you know what the minimum wage is for roles within your business?
When do the new rates take effect?
The new pay rates apply from the first full pay period commencing on or after 1 July 2017.
So, if your pay week is from Monday to Sunday, the new rates take effect on Monday 3 July.
