Follow these steps to make sure you’re being paid the right amount:
- Review your contract: The first step is to review your employment contract or letter of offer. This document should specify your position within the service, your rate of pay and the Award or Enterprise Agreement that applies to your role.
- Mind the details: If you’re not sure what Award or Enterprise Agreement applies to you, or if you’re concerned about entitlements, leave or overtime, contact It Takes A Village for advice. It’s also a good idea to verify that your superannuation contributions are being processed accurately, with any entitlements being properly accounted for.
- Compare with your experience: If you feel that your qualifications or experience do not match what is outlined in your employment contract or letter of offer, set a time to discuss this with your hiring manager, the service director or the HR/payroll manager.
- Get support: If you have questions or need help, discuss it with your service director, human resources or payroll manager, or reach out to It Takes A Village for assistance.
