When working you are either covered by an EBA or the national Award.
- The national award (MA00016) in most cases, does not allow for flat rate payroll.
- An EBA or enterprise agreement can stipulate flate rate payroll but it must be approved by the government. The agreement must be better than the award to be legal.

Your payroll details will be given you in writing at the time of employment as part of your employment offer. If you are not sure, contact Fair Work Australia
When you work for an employer, they must stipulate what the payroll conditions are at the time of employment. Example If a business pays wages on a weekly basis, you must be paid weekly.

Wages should be in your account by Thursday of your allocated pay week.
