JUSTICE ROSS, PRESIDENT VICE PRESIDENT CATANZARITI DEPUTY PRESIDENT ASBURY COMMISSIONER HAMPTON MR FERGUSON PROFESSOR WOODEN MS LABINE-ROMAIN	MELBOURNE, 26 JUNE 2020

Annual Wage Review 2019–20.

A. Further to the decision issued by the majority of the Expert Panel in the Annual Wage Review 2019–20 on 19 June 2020 [[2020] FWCFB 3500], the above award is varied as follows:

1. By deleting the example appearing in clause 10.5 and inserting the following:


Example – Casual hourly rate for casual airlines/general aviation employees

Emma is a casual pilot paid an hourly rate derived from the minimum salaries in Schedule A of the award. Emma flies a piston engine aircraft with a maximum take-off weight of 3810kg on commuter operations and is required to carry out flying using a Command instrument rating.

The annual salary for a full-time pilot under the classification of Captain, Multi engine 3360 kg UTBNI 5660 kg is $55,277.

Emma is entitled to additions to salary under clause A.1.3(a) of $1606.74 per annum and clause A.1.4 of $6426.96.

The formula to calculate her hourly casual rate under clauses 10.2 and 10.3 of the award is:

(Annual salary + annual applicable additions to salary) divided by 800 = hourly rate

Hourly rate x casual loading = casual hourly rate

Calculating Emma’s casual hourly rate:

Step 1: (annual salary + annual applicable additions to salary) = $63,310.70

Step 2: $63,310.70 / 800 = $79.14 per hour (hourly rate)

Step 3: $79.14 x 1.25 = $98.93* per hour (casual hourly rate)

Emma’s casual hourly rate of pay is $98.93* per hour.

*Emma’s actual rate of pay may differ based on other allowances that may be payable under the Air Pilots Award.
