Notes on this file

  • Hospitality (MA000009). Monday to Friday from 7pm to midnight adds $2.95 an hour, and from midnight to 7am adds $4.42 an hour, on top of the ordinary or casual hourly rate. The pay database does not include those allowances, so this checker adds them. Each allowance is paid per hour or part of an hour, and it does not stack on a weekend or public holiday penalty.
  • Manufacturing (MA000010) and Building and Construction (MA000020). Weekday rate only, check your award. This file has no Saturday, Sunday or public holiday penalty, so those hours are compared with the weekday rate.
