Wage advice?

[~clover~]

Hi all

Could someone suggest a site I can look at to see if DH is getting the right wages?
He is only a casual labourer at the moment, but at 27 I'm sure $14 an hour casual seems a bit low.
On his work place agreement contract thing he signed it said he would be getting $17 an hour, but his payslips are only saying $14.
Does this sound confusing to anyone else?
Is this right, or should he be getting at least the $17 an hour his contract says??

OK. I have worked out basically that DH is on absolute minimum wage. He's on $14.96 an hour. Federal minimum wage is $14.31 an hour.

Has any one got any idea's why his agreement says $17 an hour & he's only getting $14? Am I missing something? I don't really want to ring anyone til I know I haven't just over looked something simple.

His hourly rate may include money withheld for superannuation? Does his contract mention anything like this?

ring the department of industrial relations...they'll be able to explain it to you.

I agree with CF, have a look to see if that $17 includes super etc
