Annual wage review for Modern Awards
Fair Work Australia (FWA) has handed down its 2018 Annual Wage Review Decision.
The 2018/19 financial year is well under way; please ensure your employee wages and allowances have been updated. Fair Work Australia’s 2018 annual wage review, which took effect from the first
full pay period on or after the 1st July 2018, has delivered an increase to the Modern Award weekly rate of 3.5%.
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.
