The Fair Work Commission will announce its decision in the annual minimum wage case on 30 May. The ACTU lobbied for a six per cent increase in the minimum wage, although employers’ group used their submissions to the FWC to argue for a wage increase that is in line with the inflation rate. Meanwhile, Restaurant & Catering Australia called for no increase in the minimum wage. The new wage rate for 2.2 million workers will take effect on 1 July, when the next round of penalty rate cuts are also due to take effect.
