Table 10.1 Considerations, in order of priority:

Consideration

Detail

The relevant Award or Enterprise Bargaining Agreement (EBA)

If the worker is paid in accordance with an Award or EBA then the hourly base rate of pay and any applicable penalty rates and allowances are to be used.
A comparable relevant Award or EBA

If the worker is not paid in accordance with an Award or EBA, however there is a similar relevant Award or EBA that could apply to the worker, this may be used.

Comparable average earnings (where no Award or EBA applies to the worker)

A rate can be determined by reference to the average weekly amount earned by other persons who have attained the age or stage in employment for the performance of similar work as the worker.

The rate determined is to be based on the date the amount is to be applied.
