The Fair Work Commission’s Minimum Wage Panel handed down its Annual Wage Review decision on 16 June 2021. Group 3 awards will have an operative date of the first FULL pay period commencing on or after 1 November 2021.
The decision provided for an increase of 2.5 per cent to the National Minimum Wage to all Modern Awards with three different operative dates.
Modern Awards effective from the first full pay period on or after 1 November 2021 include:
• Air Pilots Award 2020;
• Aircraft Cabin Crew Award 2020;
• Airline Operations-Ground Staff award 2020;
• Airport Employees Award 2020;
• Amusement, Events and Recreation Award 2020;

As a result of awarding a percentage-based increase, the monetary increase will differ from Award to Award and classification to classification, with weekly wages being rounded to the nearest 10 cents.
The increases also flow-on proportionately to junior employees, employees to whom training arrangements apply, employees with a disability and employees with piece rates of pay.
For the South Australian Business Chamber PAYpack subscribers, we will begin updating and issuing PAYpack rates reflecting the recent increases to Award wages and allowances for relevant Awards as soon as possible.
