Changes to casual and overtime award clauses
The Fair Work Commission has updated the casual and overtime clauses in most awards. The updates start from the first full pay period on or after 20 November 2020. See Updates to casual and overtime clauses in most awards to find out which awards are affected and what it means for you.
There are new versions of awards being released throughout 2020.
Check out Changes to awards in 2020 for more information.

The pay guides have the current minimum pay rates for full-time, part-time and casual employees in an award. They also include all the monetary allowances and the most frequently used penalty rates for each classification.
Pay guides don’t apply when a business has a registered agreement and the employee is covered by it.
You can also find current pay rates, and pay rates from past years, by using our Pay Calculator.
Every award has information about who is covered by it. You can visit the Awards page if you’re not sure which one applies to you.
