It’s time to head to the Fair Work website and review the updated awards. The new minimum wage rates apply from the first pay period on or after 1 July 2017 and incorporate a 3.3% increase.
If you are having trouble deciphering the web of information available on wage rates, you can give Fair Work’s helpline a call. They are very prompt and extremely helpful and give you peace of mind and the confidence you’re paying your staff correctly.
