From today (1 July 2015) Australia’s 1.8 million lowest-paid workers will receive a minimum wage increase of 2.5 per cent. Be sure to check your payslip to make sure that your employer is paying you correctly.
Low paid workers including cleaners, shop assistants, restaurant workers, farm hands, administration and health care workers will see an increase of 2.5% in their pay.
