Are you in search of piece rate employment contracts? We provide support to businesses in Real Estate or Farming (Horticulture)

By definition piece work (or piecework) is any type of employment in which a worker is paid a fixed piece rate for each unit produced or action performed regardless of time. The piece rate system of pay gives a payment for each item produced – it is therefore the easiest way for a business to ensure that employees are paid for the amount of work they do. This means the employee gets a pay rate for the amount picked, packed, pruned or made. When piece rates are paid, they apply instead of the hourly or weekly pay rate.

Businesses that employ staff under the Real Estate Industry Award 2010 or Horticulture Award 2010 often benefit from this one-dimensional system for evaluating work. There are many reasons why businesses may use this payment system over the traditional hourly or weekly pay system. ISOsafe understand the requirements of this arrangement vary depending on which industrial relations system you belong to. For instance, the Horticulture Award 2010 is fairly prescriptive in how the piecework rate is to be set and the procedure to agree on the piecework rate. For these reasons it is advisable to seek assistance from our support line on 1300 789 132. 

ISOsafe prepare compliant, effective and tailored piece rate employment contracts and commission employment contracts for businesses Australia-wide.
