Your minimum pay and conditions may be set by an award, agreement or contract of employment. These are legal documents which set out your employer’s obligations to you and your responsibilities as an employee.
The pay and conditions you are entitled to may depend on whether your job is defined as full-time, part-time or casual.
Depending on your age, you may be paid a junior rate. Different rates also apply for apprentices and trainees.
You should be paid on a set day and you must also get a pay slip from your employer within one day of being paid.
Ask your employer which award or agreement applies to your job so you can find out how it affects you. You can also call us or chat online with our 
Live Chat adviser.
If an agreement or an award does not apply, laws in Australia will provide basic minimum pay and conditions.
