WA PayChecker
WA PayChecker - is an online wages calculator that helps you compare your pay and conditions
What is WA PayChecker?
The WA PayChecker application compares pay and conditions under a relevant State award with an agreement or contract of employment. The program calculates the amount of earnings over a year, including penalties, allowances and leave entitlements under an existing State award.
The system uses a relevant State award as a benchmark and may not be a precise representation of an employee's or employer's legal entitlements or obligations.
Using WA PayChecker enables you to:
- check if a proposed contract of employment or agreement alters any pay or conditions compared to this State award for a typical working week;
- calculate the amount that you could earn over a year, including penalties, allowances and leave entitlements under an existing State award; and
- compare the calculations with your proposed agreement or contract.
WA PayChecker calculates monetary benefits provided by State awards.
It does not consider non monetary benefits such as rest breaks, rostering arrangements or safety at work. In comparing a proposed contract or agreement with the relevant State award you should also consider these non-monetary benefits.
