  Coverage
This industry award covers employers throughout Australia in the horse and greyhound training industry and their employees in the classifications listed in clause 13—Classifications and minimum wages to the exclusion of any other modern award.  The award does not cover an employee excluded from award coverage by the Act.  The award does not cover employees who are covered by a modern enterprise award, or an enterprise instrument (within the meaning of the Fair Work (Transitional Provisions and Consequential Amendments) Act 2009 (Cth)), or employers in relation to those employees.  The award does not cover employees who are covered by a State reference public sector modern award, or a State reference public sector transitional award (within the meaning of the Fair Work (Transitional Provisions and Consequential Amendments) Act 2009 (Cth)), or employers in relation to those employees.  This award covers any employer which supplies labour on an on-hire basis in the industry set out in clause 4.1 in respect of on-hire employees in classifications covered by this award, and those on-hire employees, while engaged in the performance of work for a business in that industry. This subclause operates subject to the exclusions from coverage in this award.  This award covers employers which provide group training services for trainees engaged in the industry and/or parts of industry set out at clause 4.1 and those trainees engaged by a group training service hosted by a company to perform work at a location where the activities described herein are being performed. This subclause operates subject to the exclusions from coverage in this award.  Where an employer is covered by more than one award, an employee of that employer is covered by the classification which is most appropriate to the work performed by the employee and to the environment in which the employee normally performs the work.  NOTE: Where there is no classification for a particular employee in this award it is possible that the employer and that employee are covered by an award with occupational coverage.

The code displayed in the 'Amount' column of the penalty guide tells you which of the following calculations to use. If there is no code, the penalty does not apply to the casual/part-time with loading employees.                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

Code	Casual/Part Time Rates Calculation	
A	(rate of pay + casual/part time loading) x penalty	
B	(base hourly rate x casual/part time loading) + (rate of pay x penalty)	
C	rate of pay + penalty	
D	rate of pay + casual/part time loading	
E	rate of pay x penalty (no casual/part time loading)	
F	(rate of pay + penalty) x casual/part time loading	

Casual/part-time loading is generally calculated on the base hourly rate, whereas a penalty is calculated on the relevant rate of pay, including the base hourly rate plus any applicable all-purpose allowances.

Pay Guide - Background 

This guide provides information on wages, loadings and allowances. 

Employers that an award applies to must provide at least the minimum terms and conditions in that award to all employees to whom the award applies. 

One of the responsibilities of the Fair Work Ombudsman is to ensure compliance with the Fair Work Act 2009.  

If an employer is able to demonstrate that they have paid at least the rates published in this guide, including wages, allowances and loadings, the Fair Work Ombudsman will be satisfied that the employer has met those obligations under the award. The employer will need to have paid the wage rate for all hours worked and for the correct classification for the work the employee does.

The Fair Work Act 2009 requires that time and wages records be kept and pay slips issued. Employers will also need to demonstrate that this requirement has been complied with.
