Many employers and employees in the WA state industrial relations system are covered by WA awards. WA awards are legal documents that set rates of pay and working arrangements in a particular industry or occupation.
Each WA award summary details:
- what industries and/or occupations the award covers
- the current pay rates and major allowances
- working hours
- leave entitlements, including minimum entitlements from employment laws
- notice periods and entitlements when employment ends.
The page for each WA award summary also includes previous versions of the relevant WA award summary for the past 6 years. These are provided as a resource for employers and employees. The previous versions contain out-of-date rates of pay.
National system employers and employees can get award information from the Fair Work Ombudsman
