FAQs » Pay Rate Updates Email Subscription Service

Pay Rate Updates Email Subscription Service

 

What is Pay Rate Updates?

 

Pay Rate Updates is a free service that provides subscribers with the latest information on changes to NSW pay rates, award conditions and leave entitlements by email.

 

 

How do I subscribe to? 

 

Select 'Pay Rate Updates' from the Email Updates List Manager and enter your email address in the box provided.  Select the award(s) you want to receive and then click on the 'Subscribe' button. 

 

The next screen will ask you to create a password (see also 'Why a password') and to fill in the optional questionnaire (see also 'Privacy'), then click on the 'Subscribe' button.  You will get a screen telling you that you have been subscribed.

 

You will then be sent an email which asks for confirmation of your subscription. If you have selected more than one award, you will receive an email for each award.  Follow the simple instructions in the email message to complete your subscription.  You only need to reply to one of the emails to confirm your subscription to all of the awards you have selected.

 

Following your confirmation email, you will then get a welcome email. If you have replied to all the confirmation emails you will receive a welcome message for each one. If you only replied to one confirmation email you will only receive one welcome email. This is to save your inbox from being flooded with welcome messages.

What information will I receive?

 

We will never send you unsolicited emails.  When you join Pay Rate Updates you are asked if you want to receive other information from OIR.  If you tick 'no', you will only ever receive emails notifying you of changes to the awards(s) you are subscribed to.

Virus safety

 

We never send emails with attachments to Pay Rate Updates subscribers so it is unlikely that you would receive a virus from our service.  We also provide further protection by using software to prevent the receipt and transmission of viruses.

 

Spam filters

 

Spam filters help you block nuisance emails (spam) but they can also block legitimate emails unless you tell them not to. Spam filters may block your Pay Rate Updates emails. The spam filter tips explain how to prevent this.
