- Minimum wages in the third and final group of awards increase – from 1 February 2021 changes
From 1 February 2021, The Commission has announced a 1.75% increase to minimum wages in the third and final group of awards (the retail, accommodation, food services and a range of other industries increase). This will apply to all award wages.
For anyone not covered by an award or an agreement, the new National Minimum Wage is $753.80 per week or $19.84 per hour. This applies from the first full pay period starting on or after 1 July 2020.
- Who does the increase apply to?
The increase only applies to employees that get their pay rates from:
- the National Minimum Wage
- an award, or
- a registered agreement (in some cases).
Remember, the 1.75% increase applies to the awards in 3 stages.
The increase doesn’t affect employees who already get paid more than their new minimum wage.
