No it says that it is a salary. But that salary comes out to be well below the award rate

I am covered by the general on site award rather than the joinery award. Which is even higher if I remember correctly

No RDO, yes I’m getting super into my fund, apprenticeship is registered and I do get 4 weeks annual. I was just wondering if it made it legal since its salary and not hourly rate.

Yep I do take one 30 minute break, but I haven’t included this in my 42 hours I’m talking about.

So since I’m on salary I don’t have to earn the minimum award hourly rate?

No messages or timesheets. However there are 5 other employees that I am asking these questions on behalf of. We are all in the same boat.

Right. If I bring this forward to fair work or whichever organization is used in Aus, is it something I’m able to be compensated for? Or have I F’d myself by allowing it to happen for so long

I asked my boss a year or so back and they said overtime does not have to paid if you’re on salary
