Minimum rates of pay can be found in an Award or Enterprise Agreement. The Award finder and P.A.C.T calculator on the Fair Work Ombudsman site can help you to work out if an Award applies to your staff. The Award Pay Guide for the Award will tell you the minimum Award rates, penalties, loadings or allowances you need to pay. As Award rates change on 1 July every year you need to keep your Award Pay Guide up to date.
