New temporary employee award
Posted by Kaden: September 28, 2009With our economy performing exceptionally well compared to most others in the world. At people2people we know our temps work very hard, and finally they get the recognition they deserve where it counts most, in their hip pocket!
Our temps are covered by the ‘Clerical and Administrative Employees in Temporary Employment Services (NSW)’ award, and have recently had the maximum award rate increased from $22.50/hr to $23.15/hr. This means that from today, any temp who is paid under $23.15 will be entitled to overtime benefits. Overtime is calculated in the following way:
Weekly
First 38 hours - normal time
Next 2 hours - time and a half
Additional hours - double time
Daily
First 8 hours - normal time
Next 2 hours - time and a half
Additional hours - double time
Temporary or contract staff that are paid in excess of the maximum award rate are considered to be paid above the award and are paid for every hour they work but are no longer entitled to overtime benefits. Should you have any questions relating to the new award rates, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with your people2people consultant.
