2010 ANNUAL WAGE REVIEW

Annual Wage Review
Fair Work Australia has decided to increase the Federal Minimum Wage
and to increase minimum rates in modern awards by $26.00 per week.
The increases will apply from the first full pay period in July 2010.
In its first annual wage
review, the minimum wage panel of Fair Work Australia (FWA) has decided
to:
-
Increase
the Federal minimum wage from $14.31 per hour to $15.00 per hour
($569.90 per week);
-
Increase
the adult minimum wage rates in all modern awards by $26.00 per week
(rates expressed as hourly amounts will be adjusted will be adjusted
by $0.69 per hour), and
-
establish
a casual loading for award/agreement free employees at 21%; and
-
the
decision of the minimum wage panel will take effect from the first
full pay period commencing on or after 1 July 2010.
In
part the increase reflects the fact that there have been no adjustments
to minimum rates since October 2008, given that the Australian Fair Pay
commission chose not to grant an increase last year.
What does this mean?
The
rates prescribed in modern awards will increase by $26.00 per week from
the first full pay period in July 2010. Employees who are covered by
modern awards must pay the minimum rates prescribed therein.
New Wage Rates for your business
The new wage rates will be forwarded to members by Friday 18th June
2010.
