Retail Employee Level 8
Minimum pay rate under the General Retail Industry Award 2020.
No rate is currently published for this classification. This can happen where a classification exists in the award structure but carries no separate rate.
What this rate is, and is not
This is the minimum ordinary hourly rate — the rate for ordinary hours, before penalty rates, overtime, allowances or loadings. An employer can pay more than the minimum. They cannot pay less.
Rates at other times
These are published as a percentage of the ordinary hourly rate, and no ordinary rate is published for this classification today, so there is nothing here to apply them to. The table as the Commission publishes it is on the MA000004 page.
Before you compare this to your own pay
Classification depends on the duties you actually perform, not your job title. If the work you do does not match this classification, this is not the rate to compare against — and that is the single most common reason a comparison goes wrong.
This page also does not account for your hours, whether you are casual, part-time or full-time, penalty rates for the times you worked, overtime, allowances, superannuation, or anything else that appears on a payslip.
If your own figures do not match what you expected, the Fair Work Ombudsman gives free advice and accepts anonymous reports.
