Modern Awards Knowledge Base
What are modern awards? A modern award is a document which sets out the minimum terms & conditions of employment on top of the National Employment Standards (NES), providing clarification on entitlements such as; pay, hours of work, rosters, breaks, allowances penalty rates & overtime.
As Modern Awards vary between industry and are updated frequently, its important that employers stay on top of these changes. The below Award Summaries provide a snapshot of key industries in which our clients operate, which we frequestly update and add additional documentation.
