This meant that all workers under the award should have received a pay rise in the 2024\u201325 financial year. For example, a level 2.1 disability support worker saw roughly an extra <\/span><b>$45.60 per week<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in their full-time base pay after the July 2024 adjustment. Part-time and casual SCHADS employees also benefited, with part-timers earning at least <\/span><b>$1.20 more per hour<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and casuals <\/span><b>$1.50 more per hour<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from July 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These <\/span><b>SCHADS Award pay rates 2024<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> changes were slightly lower than inflation at the time (annual CPI was about 4.3% in late 2023). Still, it was crucial for employers to update their payroll systems and pay guides promptly in 2024 to avoid underpayments. The Fair Work Ombudsman and unions reminded businesses that failing to pay correct rates or allowances can result in penalties and back-pay liabilities. In short, if you had staff under SCHADS last year, you should have adjusted their wages by 3.75% from 1 July 2024 to remain compliant.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"title-idx-3\" class=\"icon-anchor\">How to keep in compliance with the SCHADS Award in 2025?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To comply with the SCHADS Award in Australia, businesses in the Social, Community, Home Care and Disability Services industry can follow:<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minimum wage<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employers must pay their employees at least the minimum wage set by the Fair Work Commission.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Superannuation<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employers are obligated to make superannuation contributions on behalf of their eligible employees, which includes calculating and paying the correct amount on time.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taxation<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Businesses must accurately calculate and withhold income tax from employee wages, regularly passing the amount to the ATO.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u200dRecord-keeping\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employers are required to maintain comprehensive records relating to employee pay, taxes, superannuation and entitlements<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2 id=\"title-idx-4\" class=\"icon-anchor\">How does Workstem help?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simplify your payroll process and ensure accurate pay rates with Workstem\u2019s automated <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.workstem.com\/au\/product\/payroll\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">payroll system<\/span><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
