Description
Australia’s modern awards system is designed to protect the entitlements of employees. Modern awards came into effect on January 1, 2010 and set out the minimum terms and conditions of employment. They are industry or occupation-based and are governed by the Fair Work Act 2009 which also sets out 10 minimum National Employment Standards (NES) that apply to ALL employees. Australia currently has 122 awards, which have already been reduced from over a thousand, and each one has its own minimum requirements in regard to base pay rate, penalties, tax, super contributions, leave entitlements, and more.
