*26.73 per hour is casual rate of pay

In 2021 the AWU successfully ran a case before the Fair Work Commission to vary the Horticulture Award to provide guaranteed minimum rates of pay for pieceworkers.

From 28 April 2022, every piecework employee must be paid at least the minimum award rates for each day of work. This is a safety net of earnings for pieceworkers. Pieceworkers will still be paid according to their productivity and competent pieceworkers should earn at least 15% more than the minimum rates.
