Changes to Casual & Part-Time Entitlements in some Awards

On 12 December 2017, the Fair Work Commission (FWC) external-icon.png varied certain overtime rates and minimum shift entitlements for casual and part-time employees in several awards.

These changes start from the first full pay period on or after 1 January 2018.

Who do the changes affect?

The changes are different for each award, so they affect employers and employees differently depending on the award they’re covered by.

Find out what the changes are to the:

  • Fast Food Award
  • Hair and Beauty Award
  • Hospitality Award
  • Passenger Vehicle Award
  • Pastoral Award
  • Rail Award
  • Registered Clubs Award
  • Restaurant Award
  • Retail Award
  • Social and Community Services Award
  • Wine Award.

The decision introduces overtime rates for casual employees in many of these awards and changes how part-time hours can be worked in others.

If you think you might be covered by one of these awards but aren’t sure, you can use Find my award to find out which covers you.

When will our tools be updated?

Our Pay Calculator and Pay Guides are being updated to include these changes. Some awards have already been updated in our tools and you can calculate entitlements by selecting a date after 1 January 2018.

Increase to Award Minimum Rates From 1 July

The Fair Work Commission have announced that from 1 July 2017 modern award rates will increase by 3.3%

The wage increases will also flow onto rates of pay  for apprentices and trainees.

If your staff are being paid at Current award rates now is the time to take a look to ensure that your staff are not underpaid as at 1 July 2017.
