Award rates.

Awards are specific legal documents that outline the minimum pay rates and conditions of employment, usually in a particular industry. While some of these conditions are the same in many awards, other entitlements are case-by-case depending on the award.

Apprentices from AIOH are under
your business award.

Like employees, apprentices are entitled to annual leave, sick leave, public holidays and breaks.

Did you know pay can increase
during an apprenticeship?

The Hospitality Award has competency-based pay increases. This means an apprentice will be entitled to a pay increase when they have completed a certain percentage of the total skill competencies on the agreed training plan.

    • The following are the different employee classifications under the Hospitality (General) Award:
  • •  Cooking – Apprentice 1st year / Stage 1
    •  Cooking – Apprentice 2nd year / Stage 2

  • •  Cooking – Apprentice 3rd year / Stage 3

•  Waiting – Apprentice 1st six months (0-6 months) / Stage 1
•  Waiting – Apprentice 2nd six months (7-12 months) / Stage 2
•  Waiting – Apprentice 3rd six months (13-18 months) / Stage 3
•  Waiting – Apprentice 4th six months (19-24 months) / Stage 4

  • •  Other than waiting or cooking – Apprentice 1st year / Stage 1

  • •  Other than waiting or cooking – Apprentice 2nd year / Stage 2

  • •  Other than waiting or cooking – Apprentice 3rd year / Stage 3

  • •  Other than waiting or cooking – Apprentice 4th year / Stage 4
