Fair Work Australia orders 3.4% increase in Minimum Wages
The wage increase takes the national minimum wage from $569.90 to $589.30 per week, or $15.51 per hour.
The increase will have effect from the first pay period commencing on or after 1 July 2011. Businesses will also need to be prepared for the second phase of the transition between pre-Modern Awards and Modern Awards, which will take effect at the same time as the increase.
Impact on business
Awards & Agreements
The decision will directly impact on businesses operating under Modern Awards and Enterprise Awards. Businesses with enterprise agreements (or transitional agreements) need to ensure that the minimum or base rates of pay in those agreements are at least equal to the relevant rate in the applicable Modern Award as increased by the decision.
Annualised Salaries and Individual Flexibility Agreements
Businesses who apply annualised salary arrangements for their Modern Award covered employees need to consider the impact of the increase on those annualised salaries. Businesses who have implemented Individual Flexibility Agreements need to reassess these agreements to ensure that new employees are better off overall when compared to the applicable Modern Award.
Allowances
The decision will also impact on allowances under Modern Awards. A number of Modern Award allowances are expressed as a percentage of the "standard rate", which is the rate applicable to the trades equivalent classification in the award. These allowance will therefore increase in line with the increase in the standard rate. Expense related allowances will increase in line with the relevant CPI index.
High Income Guarantee
While not linked to the decision, the High Income Threshold, which applies for the purposes of the High Income Guarantee, will also increase from 1 July 2011.
