Australia FAQs
What are standard overtime rates in Australia?
Most awards specify: first 2-3 overtime hours at time-and-a-half (1.5x base rate), then double time (2x) for additional hours. Saturday work is typically 1.5x. Sunday 2x. Public holidays 2.5x. Check your specific award or enterprise agreement.
When does overtime start?
For most full-time employees: after 38 hours per week or 7.6 hours per day (whichever triggers first). Part-time employees may earn overtime after exceeding their contracted hours. Casual workers earn overtime after 38 hours/week in most awards.
Is overtime taxed differently?
No. Overtime is taxed as regular income at your marginal rate. However, additional overtime may push your income into a higher tax bracket, increasing the effective rate on those hours. PAYG withholding adjusts automatically.
Can my employer force overtime?
Employers can request "reasonable overtime" under the Fair Work Act. What is reasonable depends on health and safety risks, personal circumstances, notice given, and the nature of the role. You can refuse unreasonable overtime.
Do I get super on overtime?
Yes. From 1 July 2022, super is payable on all ordinary time earnings including some overtime for certain awards. Check your specific award, as some exclude overtime from super calculations while others include it.
