Preparing for New Junior Pay Rates: A Guide for Employers
The Fair Work Commission has handed down a significant decision to increase junior rates of pay in the General Retail Industry Award, Fast Food Industry Award and Pharmacy Industry Award. The changes, expected to commence from 1 December, will have important implications for employers who engage junior employees, particularly in sectors that rely heavily on younger workers.
Join the ARC Legal team for a practical 45-minute webinar unpacking the decision, the rationale behind the changes, and what employers need to do to prepare for implementation.
Key topics include:
- An overview of the Fair Work Commission’s decision
- The new junior pay rates and how they differ from current arrangements
- Which employers and employees are affected
- The anticipated commencement and transitional arrangements
- Practical steps to review payroll systems, budgets and employment arrangements
- What further developments employers should monitor
This webinar is essential for employers in the retail, fast food and pharmacy sectors, as well as HR and payroll professionals responsible for ensuring workplace compliance. Attend to understand the changes, assess the impact on your business, and prepare for the new requirements before they take effect.
