The Fair Work Commission Wage Review Panel (Panel) has today handed down their decision in the 2019/2020 Annual Wage Review.
In a majority decision the Panel has determined to increase the National Minimum Wage and all modern award minimum wages by 1.75%.
The Panel has determined that there will be a staggered commencement date for different industries, taking into consideration the adverse impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
We have provided the commencement date for various modern awards relevant to our membership below, noting that the increase applies from the first full pay period commencing on or after the date specified below:
1 November 2020
1 February 2021
Enterprise/Collective Agreements
Members who have an Enterprise/Collective Agreement in place will be affected if the wages in their agreement are less than the minimum rates in the relevant modern award as at the first full pay period commencing on or after the applicable commencement date of the increase.
The AHA|SA will provide more detailed information to Members in upcoming Member Updates and Newsletters including updated wage schedules in due course.
Members with any queries are encouraged to contact Owen, Didier or Gary on 08 8232 4525.
