Check your pay
The following information about pay rates for common NSW awards is from the NSW Government website, which also has links to the awards themselves, so you can check your pay rates against the relevant award:
Quote:
From 1 January 2010, employers and employees previously covered by the NSW award system (mainly sole traders and partnerships) move into the national workplace relations system administered by the federal government.
If you are a sole trader or partnership covered by a NSW award listed on this website, it has now been preserved as a state reference award and you can continue to refer to this award until 31 December 2010. From 1 January 2011, your business will be covered by the appropriate new Modern awards.
The lowest rate of pay that can lawfully be paid to an adult wage earner in an award is referred to as a minimum wage.
This is a list of pay rates for common NSW awards.

The wage clause in an award specifies the minimum wage that must be paid for each classification or grade of employee covered by the award. Each employee must receive this amount as a minimum.
Sometimes the actual minimum weekly pay consists of a normal award wage plus compulsory additional components such as industry allowances or tool allowances. There are often additional rates to be paid for very specific circumstances such as working in the wet or dealing with toxic substances.
The wage clause in an award often specifies how casual or part-time rates should be calculated, that is, what additional loading they receive.
Junior employees are sometimes paid a percentage of the adult rate, depending on their age.
Awards may also provide for the payment of penalty rates to employees who work their ordinary hours at certain times of the week, such as on a Saturday or Sunday or outside the ordinary span of hours on weekdays.
Wages should normally be paid on the same day each week.
