July 2022 Pay Rates are now available on the Pay Rates page of our website.
These pay rates have been prepared following the Fair Work Commission Annual Wage Review Decision for 2021-2022.
Modern Award Rates used in the early childhood sector have increased as follows:
Current rates below $869.60 per week will increase by $40 per week
Current rates above $869.60 per week will increase by 4.6%
These rates are effective from the first full pay period commencing on or after 1 July 2022.
If your employees are covered by an Enterprise Agreement that refers to either the relevant Modern Award(s) or the Annual Wage Review in its wage-setting mechanism, your rates of pay may be affected by this increase. Alternatively, if the Annual Wage Review results in Modern Award base rates that exceed those contained in your Agreement, you will need to review your Agreement pay rates.
Please refer to the pay rates for more detail, and contact the Member Infoline on (02) 4782 1470 or 1800 991 602 (option 2) if you require any further information.
We recommend that you always refer back to our website Pay Rates page when determining pay rates, to ensure you are using the current and accurate rates.
