Fair pay

Getting paid

The amount you are paid depends on your age, job and what award or agreement you’re employed under.

You could also be paid penalty rates, overtime and allowances, depending on your job.

If you’re not sure how much you should be paid, or think you’re not being paid the right amount, the Fair Work Ombudsman Australia can help you with:

• how much you should be paid
• apprentice and trainee pay
• national minimum wage
• pay calculator
• unpaid trials
• volunteering.
