The ACTU says the 3.3 per cent increase in the minimum wage is insufficient, although employers’ groups warn that it could lead to job losses and deter businesses from hiring additional staff. The Fair Work Commission’s ruling lifts the minimum wage by $A22.20 a week to $A694.90, with president Iain Ross arguing that it is unlikely to have much adverse impact on employment. He added that this would probably not have been the case if a larger increase in the minimum wage had been approved.
