As of 1st July, 2010 modern award minimum wage rates and new pay provisions (including penalty rates) will come into effect for most businesses. Most modern awards contain transitional arrangements that may affect your business. It is important that business owners are aware of what award they now fall under and what classification their employees fit into.
Has your business done the ground-work and made comparisons of pre-modern award and modern award classifications and calculated the rate of pay as of 1st July, 2010? If so, businesses need to be aware that the increase in the National Minimum Wage announced recently by Fair Work Australia may impact on these rates of pay.
