Increase to Australia's Minimum Wages Announced by The Fair Work Commission

Good afternoon everyone!

 

The Fair Work Commission has announced that national minimum wage and awards will increase by 3.75%. This means we'll see national minimum wages increase by 89c to $24.10 an hour or $915.90 a week, based on a 38 hour work week. These changes will take place from the 1st of July 2024. 

 

To find more information about how this will apply to you and your business, please refer to this page

 

Cheers, Amanda.

    I just found this on the ATO's Fair Work Ombudsman site

    From 1 July 2024, the National Minimum Wage will increase by 3.75%.

    The new National Minimum Wage will be $915.90 per week or $24.10 per hour.

    I realize it's only cents, but in this day and age every cent counts
