Piecework in the Horticulture Award prior to 28 April 2022

Piecework rates

A piecework rate is where an employee gets paid by the piece. It's based on the amount the employee has picked, packed, pruned or made.

Prior to 28 April 2022 an employer and an employee could enter into a piecework agreement for the employee to be paid a piecework rate.

Prior to 28 April 2022, an employee being paid piecework rates didn’t have a guaranteed minimum pay rate. Their earnings depended entirely on how productive they were. Pieceworkers were paid only for what they could pick, prune or pack.
