Annual wage review for Modern Awards

Fair Work Australia (FWA) has handed down its 2019 Annual Wage Review Decision.

The 2019/20 financial year is well under way; please ensure your employee wages and allowances have been updated. Fair Work Australia’s 2019 annual wage review, which took effect from the first full pay period on or after the 1 July 2019, has delivered an increase to the Modern Award weekly rate of 3%.

Most Modern Award allowances have also increased either as part of the minimum wage increase or based upon the relevant consumer price index (CPI) sub-category. The wage rates as published reflect the increase to the Modern Award wage rates.

Please see the table for new minimum wage rates and allowances payable under the Quarrying Award 2010 and a comparison with last year’s rates.

A full-time employee must be paid a minimum weekly rate for their classification as set out in the table below:

The following allowances need to be adjusted to take into account the new weekly rates.

  • Industry allowance $27.21 per week
  • Leading hand/in charge of:
  • First aid – $15.91 of standard rate per week
  • Use of own vehicle – $0.78 per kilometer
  • Meal expense – $14.62
  • Meal allowance for overtime – $14.62
