Having trouble working out what to pay new staff? Unsure if existing staff are paid correctly? Uncertain what Award to look at when determining pay rates?
Since 1 January 2010, the following changes have occurred:
- Employers (except those in WA) operating under the State system, such as sole traders and partnerships, moved to the Federal system
- Most State Awards ceased to exist and employers were bound by the relevant Modern Award applying to their industry
- The Modern Awards replaced thousands of NAPSAs and Federal Awards
- The National Employment Standards took effect
These changes have created confusion for many employers, as well as unintentional non-compliance of wages and conditions. We can assist in unraveling these issues and provide strategies for compliance.
Our Wage Compliance Audit, conducted by experienced employment lawyers, award interpreters and industrial relations experts, will provide you with assurance that you are compliant with the new laws.
EI’s Wage Compliance Audit can include:
- Review of correct Award coverage for all staff
- Review of current record keeping in accordance with legislative requirements
- Assessment of current pay rates for all employee classifications
- How to transition from existing Award arrangements to the Modern Award(s)
- Classification mapping between old Awards and the Modern Award(s)
- Analysis of leave entitlements
