Modern Awards set the minimum conditions of employment for specific industries or occupations in Australia, including wages, overtime pay, and entitlements.
These awards are essential for ensuring that employees receive fair pay and benefits based on their roles.
For example, an employee working in retail may be covered by the "Retail Award," which dictates minimum wages and conditions such as penalty rates for weekend work.
Modern Awards help standardize employment conditions across various sectors and protect workers' rights.
