Employer Payroll Contributions
Employee Income Tax
As of July 1, 2021, the minimum wage in Australia increased to 20.33 AUD per hour (772.60 AUD per week).
Employees are paid weekly, bi-monthly, or monthly.
There are no legal requirements to when an employee needs to be paid by, however, it is common to pay employees by the following schedule:
There are no provisions in the law regarding 13th salaries.
The standard workweek is 38 hours.
Minimum employment conditions are outlined in the Fair Work Act, 2009 and Industrial Awards. Awards are either industry-based or occupation-based. Employees covered by Awards are generally paid overtime. Most Awards provide for overtime to be paid for time worked in excess of 38 hours per week, or in excess of 10 hours per day. Overtime or a penalty is generally paid to Award based employees for work performed on a weekend or a public holiday.
If an employee is not an Award employee, they are considered to be“Award Free.” Award Free employees do not have a statutory right to be paid overtime. However, such employees do have the right to work only 38 plus reasonable additional hours per week. There is no formal definition of what is “reasonable additional hours,” however, such employees are generally expected to work overtime hours that are necessary to complete the job they are employed to do.
Monday–Friday
Full-time employees are entitled to 4 weeks of paid leave per year, while employees who work in shifts receive 5 weeks.
Public holidays vary by state.
Employees are entitled to 10 days paid leave per year which can be used if the employee is sick or if they need to care for a family member.
Mothers are entitled to 12 months unpaid maternity leave after working for 12 months with the same employer. Some employers provide paid maternity leave.
In addition, employees can apply to the Federal Government scheme which provides payment for 18 weeks of maternity leave.
Fathers are entitled to 5 days unpaid leave at the time of the birth or adoption of a child.
Employees can also apply to the Federal Government scheme for additional leave.
Parental leave includes maternity and paternity leave, as well as leave for when a child is adopted. To be eligible, an employee must have completed at least 12 months of employment.
Parental leave is an unpaid leave that lasts for 12 months, and it is possible to request an additional 12 months from the employer.
2 days’ paid leave
Reason for termination varies based on the number of employees an employee has and the length and type of service:
Employees dismissed in the first 6 months of employment (or 12 months of employment if employed by a small business) cannot make a claim of “unfair dismissal” to the Fair Work Commission. However, there are some exceptions to this known as General Protections matters where there is no minimum engagement period applying.
Unfair dismissal applications are heard in the Fair Work Commission – a specialist employment tribunal.
The notice period is determined by the amount of time the employee has been employed:
If the employee is over the age of 45 and has been employed for at least 2 years, they are entitled to an additional week of notice.
Severance pay is given based on a continuous period of service, and the pay rate is given for ordinary hours worked:
The probation period is 6 months, however, if an employer has 15 employees, it is extended to 12 months. In addition, employers are able to shorten the minimum probation period. In doing so, however, the employer forgoes the benefits of a probation period.
Australia has a diverse range of Visas that are intended to suit various professions. Each visa is unique and has specific requirements.
Processing time for these visas can take anywhere from 6-17 months.
Temporary Work Visas
Permanent Work Visas
Goods and Service Tax (GST) is 10%.
