Minimum Wages to Increase by 3%

This morning, 30 May 2019, the Fair Work Commission (FWC) handed down its Minimum Wage Ruling. The FWC has awarded an increase of 3% to all adult full time weekly rates in the Modern Awards from the first pay period commencing (ppc) on or after 1 July 2019. Proportionate increases will flow to part time and casual workers, juniors, apprentices and trainees.

The 3% increase results in the National Minimum Wage (NMW) increasing from $719.20 (or $18.93 per hour) to $740.80 per week (or $19.49 per hour).
