Union Shopper

I operate a front end loader at a Brisbane quarry. I am employed on a casual basis. Where can I find out what I should be paid?

Mike

According to the Qld Quarry, Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel industry state award the casual rate is $13.95 for a quarry worker grade 3, $14.94 for a grade 4 and $15.60 for a grade 5.

These are adult hourly rates. Also there is an quarry allowance of $17.70 per week, working in water allowance of $1.06 per hour. Wet places allowance of $2.83 per day.
