03 JunAnnual Wage Review 2018-2019
On Thursday, 30 May 2019 the Fair Work Commission handed down its decision in the Annual Wage Review 2018-2019.
The decision increases the National Minimum Wage by 3% (to $740.80 per week), and will also increase modern awards by 3% per week.
Orders to settle the increases will take a week or two to be finalised.
Wage increases and any allowance adjustments will take effect from the start of the first full pay period on or after 1 July 2019.
Modern awards, like the Children’s Services Award 2010, Educational Services (Teachers) Award 2010, and the Clerks – Private Sector Award 2010, will have the increase applied.
Any impact on services who are covered by the VECTEA agreement will be assessed and advised in coming weeks.
Further advice will follow as award variations are settled.
