   Foreign students in Australia need to be aware of the minimum terms and conditions in the modern award that applies to your industry or occupation. There may be new provisions about: Minimum wages, including piecework rates Types of employment (e.g. full-time, part-time, casual) Overtime and penalty rates Work arrangements (e.g. rosters, variations to working hours, flexible working arrangements) Annual wage or salary arrangements Allowances (e.g. travel allowances) Leave, leave loading and taking leave Superannuation Procedures for consultation, representation and dispute settlement Employing outworkers and the work they perform An industry-specific redundancy scheme. Your modern award will also have a flexibility term which means employers and employees will be able to negotiate changes to meet their individual needs relating to issues specified in the clause of the modern award. Modern awards operate in conjunction with the National Employment Standards (NES). These standards provide a safety net for all employees in the national workplace relations system, including those not covered by a modern award. Be sure to check whether any terms and conditions of employment have changed, and if there are any transitional arrangements which may affect these changes.
