Labour market assistance

Sessional employees in the Labour Market Assistance Award

Sessional employees get paid the casual pay rate for an Employment services officer grade 1 – pay point 3. In addition, sessional employees are paid for preparation, non-teaching or training tasks in one of two ways:

  • a 33.3% loading paid as part of the casual hourly rate, or
  • payment of one hour’s pay for every three hours of teaching time. This is capped at five additional hours per week.

How are penalties calculated?

Penalty rates are calculated on the minimum hourly rate. This is the rate without the casual loading.
