The minimum rates of pay and penalty rates that apply to your employees are determined by both the Vehicle Award and the pre-modern award that would have applied before 1 January 2010.
The links below will take you to the relevant award summary page, where you can download the Pay and Conditions Guides for common pre-modern awards in the vehicle industry. You will also be able to access your modern award, pre-modern award and pay tools.
The links are ordered based on the state or territory where they apply.
Pay and Conditions Guides provide a summary of current minimum rates of pay, allowances, and other entitlements that apply to your employees. They also provide information on how to calculate penalty rates.
Please note that the Pay and Conditions Guides below don’t apply if your business is a sole trader or partnership.
If you are not sure which pre-modern award would have applied to you, you can use Award Finder or Contact us for assistance.
Note: Minimum wages may increase on 1 July each year. Always make sure you are using the most up-to-date Pay and Conditions Guide.
