Hair and Beauty Industry Award 2020

MA000005 · 77 classifications · ordinary week of 38.00 hours

Classifications

Choose the classification that matches the work you do.

Junior and apprentice rates

These sit under a classification above. The rate depends on both — a 16-year-old at Level 1 is paid differently to a 16-year-old at Level 3.

Penalty and overtime rates

These are stated as a percentage of the ordinary hourly rate — a total, not an addition. 150% means one and a half times the ordinary rate, not the ordinary rate plus 150%.

The Fair Work Commission publishes these by employment type rather than by classification, so find the group that describes your employment. Which group applies to you depends on your employment type, your age and whether you work shifts — this page does not decide that for you.

What this page does not tell you

It shows published minimum rates. It does not say what you were actually paid, whether your classification is the right one for your duties, how many hours you worked, or whether allowances apply to you.

Classification depends on the duties you perform, not your job title. If the work you do does not match the classification you were told, the rate on this page is not the one to compare against.
