How much should student workers be paid?
Minimum wages for students are determined by the government. Children may not be aware they are being underpaid for their work.
Make sure your child is getting paid appropriately for employees working in their industry. The NSW Office of Industrial Relations can help.
Minimum Youth or "Junior" wage rates are regulated by government. To determine the correct wage for a junior in any industry, please use this link:
