13.01.2022 Annualised Salaries Effective 1st of March 2020 Fair Work have announced a number of important changes that will come into effect for employees on annual salaries. These changes affect an employee that is employed under one of 22 modern awards that have been amended. A list of the impacted awards is included below. The changes by Fair Work are to ensure an annual salary employee is always paid at or above award rates. The Key changes are:... You need to put in writing what additional hours and penalties are covered by the annual salary*. Please note the common clause in a contract of reasonable overtime will no longer be acceptable. Requirement to record employees working hours (start, finish & unpaid breaks) Each pay period you need to check if an employee has worked outside the agreed limits and pay them any excess in the corresponding pay. Each year or on termination perform a reconciliation to ensure the employee has not been underpaid. * There are some slight differences between the awards regarding how this can be done and if you need the employee’s agreement. What do you need to do now: You need to check if an annual salary employee could be covered by one of the awards below. It is important to note that even if an employment agreement does not state that an employee is employed under an award, they still may be covered by one. Determine what action you need to take regarding documenting what is covered by the annualised salary. Resolve how you will record and track your employees work hours (start, finish & unpaid breaks). What you need to do from 1st March 2020: Each pay cycle check the employee hours against their agreed additional hours and penalties and pay anything outside the agreement. Every year (on the anniversary of the employee’s agreement) or on an employee termination, perform a reconciliation of hours to the annual agreement.
