Annual Wage Review 2019-2020
The National Office has filed a submission raising a concern that apprentice rates of pay in the Rail Industry Award 2010 are lower than the rates of pay for award-free apprentice employees covered by the Special National Minimum Wage (NMW) 4 in the National Minimum Wage Order 2019. On 11 July, the National Office wrote to the Fair Work Commission, confirming we would like to pursue a variation in apprentice rates in the Rail Industry Award 2010 and for it to be considered during the 2019-20 Wage Review.
