Fair Work Commission Raise Minimum Wage
PAY RISE.
Australia's two million lowest paid workers will receive a $22.20 a week pay rise.
The increase falls below the $45 a week rise in the national minimum wage that the ACTU had called for, but above the $8.10 to $10.10 that business groups wanted.
Fair Work Commission president Justice Iain Ross said on Tuesday the national minimum wage will rise by 3.3 per cent to $694.90 a week from July 1.
More to come.
