Meat Industry Award [MA000059]
Penalty rates in the Meat Award
Employees other than cleaners
Penalty rates in the Meat Award depend on the:
- type of establishment the employee works in
- day the work is done on
- hours the work is done over.
Penalty rates are paid on the minimum hourly rate for all ordinary hours worked. Work done outside the spread of hours is overtime.
Casuals other than employees working in a load out area get the penalty rate instead of the casual loading.
