The Miscellaneous Award covers employees who are not covered by any other modern award but who perform work of a kind covered by the award system. In urhere it comes as two ready-to-use pay templates — one for full-time and part-time staff, and one for casual staff. All classification levels (Levels 1–4) use the same template; only the base rate on the employee record changes per level.

How rates work in urhere: each employee has a base hourly rate that matches their classification level. The pay templates below apply penalties and overtime as a percentage of that base rate. For casual employees, the 25% casual loading is already included in their base rate. All examples use a base rate of $30.00/hour purely to illustrate the maths.

Ordinary hours are Monday–Friday, 7:00am–7:00pm, paid at 100%. Weekday work outside that window (before 7:00am or after 7:00pm) is paid at 120%.

Casual employees include the 25% casual loading in their base rate. The percentages below are applied to that loaded rate.

Ordinary hours are Monday–Friday, 7:00am–7:00pm, paid at 100%. Weekday work outside that window is paid at 116%.

Overtime on any day is 120% for the first 3 hours (after 10 hours in a day, or 38 hours in a week), then 160%.

Casual employees are guaranteed a minimum of 2 hours per engagement.

Rates current as at 1 July 2026. Penalty and overtime percentages follow the Fair Work MA000104 pay guide.
