Did you work on a renewable energy project (solar or wind farm)?
Were you getting over $3,800 Australian per week?
If not, you might have been underpaid and you may be able to make a wage claim.
Working 60 hours per week, you should have been getting around $3,800 per week.
Here’s how that is calculated:
Regular wages: $40 x 36 = $1440
Overtime: $80 x 24 = $1920
Site allowance: $4 x 60 = $240
Travel allowance: $41.29 x 6 = $247.74
TOTAL: $3,847.74
PLUS
Superannuation: $203.96
Redundancy (can be claimed at the end of the job): $78.05
With superannuation and redundancy, that’s over $4,000 per week!
