Your working conditions

Before you start work, you need to be sure you understand what your pay, entitlements and working conditions will be once you begin your new job.

Your employer should provide you with this information, however if that doesn’t happen you will need to ask them. It is a good idea to ask them to confirm all the details in writing.

How to check you are getting your correct pay and conditions

NSW IR website has a number of resources to help workers who are covered by a state award or agreement better understand their working conditions and find out what they should be paid.

To find out if you are covered by the state industrial relations system, you can use the State or Federal look-up tool to check.

For more information about pay and conditions go to the Awards Online and Check Your Pay sections in this website.

If you are covered by a federal award or agreement, contact the  Fair Work Online for information or assistance.

If you’re still unsure about the conditions you’re being offered, contact NSW IR on 131 628 for help or information.
