The Federal Government has announced it will introduce legislation to ensure its $2.8 billion contribution to equal pay increases for social and community sector (SACS) workers is secured.

 

Under the terms of Fair Work Australia’s equal remuneration order, around 150,000 SACS workers will receive wage rises totalling between 23 and 45 per cent from December until June 2021.

 

The Federal Government recently formed a new Social and Community Services Pay Equity Special Account in a bid to ensure the pay increases are rolled out.
