Fair Work Commission eliminates discounted pay rates for young workers aged 18 to 20.

The Fair Work Commission has eliminated discounted pay rates for workers aged 18 to 20 in industries like fast food and retail, requiring them to receive the full award wage. This change, effective starting December, will be phased in over four years, with no immediate adjustments for those with less than six months of experience. Junior wage rates will still apply to workers under 18.
