Use Paycheck to find out if you've been underpaid, and to help you recover the money you're owed.
Each year, Australian workers miss out on an estimated $847 million to $1.35 billion in unpaid wages . That’s money that should go towards rent, groceries or savings.
Australia’s workplace laws are built around Modern Awards that set the minimum pay and conditions for workers.
There are more than 120 Modern Awards. Some with over 300 pages and 50,000+ words.
Each award sets out rules for:
The minimum amounts of pay set for different roles.
Higher pay for weekends, early or late hours, public holidays, or overtime.
Extra pay for special skills, certain tasks, remote areas or covering expenses.
Includes breaks, leave, minimum shift lengths and more.

It’s not always obvious. It’s not money disappearing from your pay, but missing out on what you should be getting. Here’s what to look for.
You’re regularly working past 7pm, but you don’t see any extra money in your pay.
You work Saturdays or Sundays, but your pay doesn’t reflect higher rates you’re legally entitled to.
You’re asked to stay back or come in early, but still get your usual rate or weekly amount.
If you’re under 21 and on minimum wage, your rate should go up each birthday.
Casuals generally get 25% extra. If you’re paid the same as full-timers, you might be underpaid.
If you're supervising and training other workers, you might be entitled to a higher classification and better pay.
