General Retail award
Retail Award pay rates and employee levels
The General Retail Industry Award (MA000004) sets adult base minimums by Retail Employee Level. This hub lists Levels 1–8 and links to rate pages so you can compare what you pay with Fair Work Commission Pay Database figures when available. It does not decide which level applies to a worker.
