Labour Market Assistance Industry Award
Covers the labour market assistance industry - work placement, job searching, personal support, vocational training and related welfare-sector services delivered by arrangement or contract with federal and state governments to assist persons seeking employment. 7 classifications across 30 pay-point rate rows. Standard rate is Administrative Assistant Pay Point 2.
Fully built. Rates, allowances, penalties and any required apprentice / junior rates are all wired to the rate resolver and have been verified against the consolidated award text and the latest pay guide.
Official Fair Work rates. This award’s minimum pay rates are synced directly from the Fair Work Commission’s Modern Awards Pay Database and updated automatically when the Commission changes them - including the annual wage review - so payroll always uses the current legal minimums without a manual update.
