robustness of the labour market,<br />
and the fact that increases to<br />
modern award minimum wage<br />
rates will provide a disproportionate<br />
benefit to female workers and<br />
may contribute to narrowing the<br />
aggregate gender pay gap.<br />
The Panel also considered the<br />
forthcoming increase to the<br />
Superannuation Guarantee<br />
contributions rate, the effect that<br />
an expected weakening in the<br />
labour market may have on casual<br />
employees and particular industries<br />
which have a higher proportion of<br />
modern award-reliant employees,<br />
the need to avoid entrenching high<br />
inflation expectations by taking<br />
a perceived wage indexation<br />
approach, and the recent weak<br />
performance in productivity growth.<br />
Enterprise/Collective Agreements<br />
Those members who have an<br />
Enterprise/Collective Agreement in<br />
place will be affected if the wages<br />
in their agreement are less than<br />
the minimum rates in the relevant<br />
modern award as at the first full pay<br />
period commencing on or after the<br />
1 <strong>July</strong> <strong>2023</strong>.<br />
Individual Flexibility Arrangement<br />
(IFA)<br />
If an Individual Flexibility<br />
Arrangement (IFA) is in place<br />
between an employee and their<br />
employer in accordance with a<br />
Modern Award or an Enterprise<br />
Agreement, members will need<br />
to review the IFA to ascertain<br />
whether any increase to the<br />
modern award wages affects<br />
the IFA. Remembering that an<br />
IFA must result in the employee<br />
being better off overall at the time<br />
the agreement is made than if the<br />
agreement had not been made.<br />
Salary Arrangements<br />
Members will need to review any<br />
salary arrangements which have<br />
been calculated in accordance with<br />
an applicable Award or Collective/<br />
Enterprise Agreement to ensure<br />
the salary is sufficient in line with<br />
the relevant Award or Collective/<br />
Enterprise Agreement provisions.<br />
