The Australian Fair Pay Commission is inviting interested groups and individuals to make written submissions on the 2009 Minimum Wage Review, due to be released July 2009.
The Commission is interested in a wide range of wage-related issues, including:
-
employment and competitiveness across the economy
-
providing a safety net for the low paid
-
minimum wages for junior employees, employees to whom training arrangements apply and employees with disabilities that ensure those employees are competitive in the labour market
-
the capacity for the unemployed and low paid workers to obtain and remain in employment.
The final date for submissions is by close of business Friday, 20 March 2009.
Further information and guidelines for submissions are available on the Australian Fair Pay Commission website, or by calling the Workplace Infoline on 1300 139 699.
If you would like to be consulted on business-related issues in the future, you may be interested in registering on the Business Consultation website.
