The Fair Work Commission has announced increases to minimum pay rates, meaning many Australian employers may need to review their payroll settings to ensure they remain compliant.

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀:
📈 Most modern award wage rates are increasing by 𝟰.𝟳𝟱%
💰 The National Minimum Wage is increasing by 𝟱.𝟵%
⏫ This takes the minimum hourly rate from $𝟮𝟰.𝟵𝟱 𝘁𝗼 $𝟮𝟲.𝟰𝟰 𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿
📅 Full-time minimum weekly pay (38 hours) rises from $𝟵𝟰𝟴.𝟬𝟬 𝘁𝗼 $𝟭,𝟬𝟬𝟰.𝟵𝟬

𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗳𝗳, 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄:
✔ Award classifications
✔ Payroll systems and software settings
✔ Employee pay rates
✔ Any existing salary arrangements

Failing to update wage rates could leave your business non-compliant, so it’s worth checking now before the changes take effect.
