HAVE YOUR SAY ON MINIMUM / JUNIOR WAGES February 25, 2009

YACVic update
—-
The Australian Fair Pay Commission has begun the 2009 Minimum Wage Review. This means that the Commission is setting the rate for the minimum wage for the next year. In its investigations it will also be looking at minimum wages for `junior employees, employees to whom training arrangements apply and employees with disabilities.’

YACVic believes it’s vital that young people have a say on this important issue. We will be hosting a consultation with young people to include their perspectives in our submission to the Commission.

YACVic consultation with young people on minimum and junior wages:
Date: March 3rd, 2009
Time: 5:00pm – 6:30pm
Venue: YACVic office, Level 2, 172 Flinders St Melbourne

If you would like to attend please contact Liz on 9267 3799 or info@yacvic.org.au with your name, age, email and phone number.

Snacks will be provided and all participants will receive a JB Hi Fi voucher worth $30.00 for their time. Places are limited, so please get in touch ASAP to register.

Cheers
