Hair and Beauty Industry Award Overtime Changes: What You Need to Know
Staying compliant with national employment standards is a top priority for salon owners. Consequently, it is vital to understand the recent Hair and Beauty Industry Award overtime changes that impact your daily operations. These updates introduced new requirements for overtime entitlements for both full-time and part-time employees.
In addition to standard wage requirements, these changes became effective from the first full pay period starting on or after 31 January 2022. To begin with, any employee is now entitled to receive overtime pay under specific conditions regarding their rostered hours.
New Overtime Triggers for Staff
Specifically, for Full-Time Employees, overtime applies when they:
- Work more than 38 hours per week.
- Exceed the maximum daily limit of 9 hours (unless a 10.5-hour “ordinary day” is agreed upon in writing).
- Work outside of ordinary hours:
- Monday to Friday: 7.00am – 9.00pm
- Saturday: 7.00am – 6.00pm
- Sunday: 10.00am – 5.00pm
Similarly, Part-Time Employees must receive overtime if they:
- Work beyond their mutually agreed-upon part-time hours.
- Work more than the maximum daily limit of 9 hours.
- Perform duties outside of the ordinary hours mentioned above.
Ensuring Fair Work Compliance
Furthermore, managing these Hair and Beauty Industry Award overtime changes requires meticulous record-keeping. For instance, if an employee is rostered for a 10.5-hour day, this must be defined as an “ordinary day” through a written agreement. Failure to document this can lead to compliance issues with Fair Work Australia.
