Key Takeaway
The Fair Work Commission has determined the minimum wage floor will be introduced into piece-rate agreements from 28th April 2022.
Key Points:
- Employers will be required to provide a piecework record for employees to sign prior to engaging in work.
- Employees must receive a piece rate offering equivalent to 15% above the national minimum wage achievable by an average picker.
- As of 7th February 2022, the national minimum wage is $20.33 per hour
- If a worker was unable to pick enough produce to earn over the national minimum wage, they would now receive the minimum wage x time spent working.
