Document period and use
This article explains the 2017 document. Its original dates, wage figures and examples are retained as historical context; later orders and wage schedules take precedence for subsequent payroll periods.
Wage increases and removal of exemption
The 2017 report proposed fixed-dollar wage increases from 2019 to 2021, followed by at least 3% annually from 2022 to 2024 subject to review. It recommended ending overtime exemption from 1 January 2021 to move away from 12-hour, six-day rosters that could produce around 95 monthly overtime hours. Agencies and buyers were urged to redesign shifts and contracts before implementation.
Job differentials and historical schedule
