Millions of Aussie workers to receive pay rise

Millions of Australian workers on award and minimum wages will receive a 4.75% pay increase from the first full pay period in July, raising the minimum wage to $26.44 per hour. The changes affect approximately 2.8 million workers on awards, with an additional 2 million covered by collective agreements that also commence on 1 July. Workers are advised to check their pay slips to ensure the increase has been applied correctly, comparing their last June pay slip with the first full July pay period.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
