Pay
Students and young workers are often paid using cash (or cash-in-hand). Ensure that all the supporting documenation is provided with the payment.
Unsure about how you should be paying your young employees? You can refer to the awards and enterprise agreements relevant for your industry.
The law in NSW says that workers must be paid in cash, or by cheque, or electronic funds transfer. However, payment by cheque or electronic funds transfer must be agreed to by the worker. Cash-in-hand payment is not recommended for students as they are more difficult to verify and students who are paid in this way say that it is more difficult to save their earnings.
Awards and enterprise agreements usually list how often an employer must pay their employees (weekly, fortnightly etc). Casual employees can be paid at the end of each day's employment. However, if an employee requests it the employer must pay them at least fortnightly.
