AWARDS CHANGES FOR 1 JULY 2010
The Pastoral Award 2010 rates of pay will change on 1 July 2010. The changes are the result of Fairwork Australia announcing on 2 June, that the Australian Minimum Wage (AMW) would increase by $26.00 per week. This announcement, along with pay conversions of the Pastoral Award from a 40-hour-a-week Award to a 38-hour-a-week Award, will have a 'double whammy' effect on the rates of pay for shearers and shed staff. The rate for flock sheep will increase from $233.82/$235.59 per hundred to $253.42 per hundred. The $19.60/$17.83 increase will see the overall cost of shearing increase by approximately 8%.For all rate details go to the Industrial Awards Section.
