Over the last 2 - 3 years the award system that regulates employee entitlements has been significantly improved and today we have over 120 awards covering a plethora of occupations.
Modern awards can contain terms relating to:
· base rates of pay, including piecework rates
· types of employment (e.g. full-time, part-time, casual)
· overtime and penalty rates
· work arrangements (e.g. rosters, variations to working hours)
· annualised wage or salary arrangements
· allowances (e.g. travel allowances)
· leave, leave loading and taking leave
· superannuation
· procedures for consultation, representation and dispute settlement
· outworkers
· an industry-specific redundancy scheme.
Mr. Jake Boghossian has been interpreting awards for an extensive period and has a very sound understanding of their enforcement. If you believe you have been underpaid and or require an award clause please contact our office at your convenience.
