Annual Wage Review 2021–22.

A. Further to the decision issued by the Expert Panel in the Annual Wage Review 2021–22 on 15 June 2022 [[2022] FWCFB 3500], the above award is varied as follows:

1. By deleting the example appearing in clause 10.6 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 $59,265.

   

Emma is entitled to additions to salary under clause A.1.3(a) of $1722.67 per annum and clause A.1.4 of $6890.68.

   

The formula to calculate her hourly casual rate under clauses 10.2 and 10.4 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) = $67,878.35

 

Step 2: $67,878.35 / 800 = $84.85 per hour (hourly rate)

 

Step 3: $84.85 x 1.25 = $106.06* per hour (casual hourly rate)

 

Emma’s casual hourly rate of pay is $106.06* per hour.

 

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

2. By deleting the amount “$111.59” appearing in clause 15.8(f)(ii) and inserting “$116.73”.
