15 June 2022: Annual Wage Review Decision
|
FWC's Annual Wage Review Decision Adds Fuel to the Inflation Fire
|
There is a major risk that the 5.2% per cent increase that has been awarded to the National Minimum Wage, with increases of between 4.6% and 5.2% to award rates, will fuel inflation and lead to even higher interest rates; even more hardship for people with mortgages, personal loans or credit card debts; and add substantially to the risk of unemployment and underemployment – particularly for unskilled employees.

How can medium-sized enterprises be supported to broaden their inclusive employment practices?
While the national unemployment figure is under 4%, the rate for people with intellectual disability (over 17%) remains unacceptably high.
The University of Melbourne is asking medium-sized enterprises, employing between 20 and 199 employees, to complete a survey seeking to understand current employment practices, and how businesses can be supported to hire people with intellectual disability.
The survey takes just 15 minutes to complete and is open until 11:30pm on 19 June.
