Frequently Asked Questions
What is the standard overtime rate in Australia?
Under most modern awards, the first 2-3 hours of overtime are paid at 1.5x (time and a half) and anything after that at 2x (double time). Check your specific award on the Fair Work Ombudsman website.
How much do public holidays pay in Australia?
Most awards pay 2.5x the base rate for hours worked on a public holiday, plus you're entitled to the day off if you don't work. Some awards pay 2x or 3x — check your specific award.
Is overtime compulsory in Australia?
An employer can request overtime, but an employee can refuse if it's unreasonable. Factors include notice, health, family responsibilities, and the employee's circumstances under the Fair Work Act 2009.
Do casual employees get overtime?
Yes. Casual employees are entitled to overtime rates on top of their casual loading (typically 25%) once they exceed the maximum ordinary hours specified in their award.
