As indicated in the previous heading, there is a recommended minimum salary scale approved by the Law Society of New South Wales. This scale is presented only as a guide and is subject to variation each year.
Salary can be weekly, fortnightly, monthly or at any other period agreed.
Naturally, this then affects the nature of your contract, and in particular, the time given for notice by either yourself or the employer. You should also consider with your prospective employer an appropriate date for review of your salary. Quite often a term of three or six months is appropriate and thereafter annually. Again, this is merely a suggestion and you should address your mind to this issue from the outset.
