• Permanent full-time position
• 38 hours per week

IMPORTANT
Remember, job ads can’t include pay rates that would breach the Fair Work Act or a fair work instrument such as an award or enterprise agreement. This means that job ads can’t include pay rates that undercut employees’ minimum entitlements. Make sure any rate you include in your ad meets the minimum under your award, agreement, or the Fair Work Act.
To find minimum award pay rates, penalty rates and allowances, you can use our Pay and Conditions Tool at fairwork.gov.au/pact
If you are advertising a pieceworker position where the employee would also be entitled to a periodic rate of pay (for example, an hourly or weekly rate) you need to:
