Employee entitlements

You must ensure when you take on new employees that you're aware of their entitlements.
  • Wages & conditions
    In Australia, there are minimum standards for wages and working conditions.
  • Awards & agreements
    Many jobs are covered by a federal or state industrial award. Awards outline the rights and obligations of employers and the legally binding minimum wage rates and employment conditions for employees.
  • Employee leave & holiday entitlements
    Most workers are paid for public holidays, except for contract workers and casual employees who are paid for hours worked.
