If you already have a job it's worth checking your minimum entitlements including the National Employment Standards (NES) and a minimum wage. The NES covers types of leave, public holidays and notice if you get fired. If you are an employee under 21 years of age, junior pay rates will apply. Use the FWO's Pay and Conditions Tool to calculate junior pay rates.
