As at 6 September 2026, our corpus of 14,141 federally registered enterprise agreements holds no current agreement for Belgravia Leisure. That usually means one of three things: the employer pays on the award (or on individual contracts above it), the agreement covering you is registered under a different entity name (check the employer name on your payslip and search our agreements database), or — for state public-sector employers — pay is set by a state award or agreement outside the federal register. If you have a copy of an agreement that names Belgravia Leisure, it beats the award figures above.

General award-compliance issues that come up across the leisure sector. This is a checklist for your own payslip, not a finding about Belgravia Leisure:

• Contractor personal trainers who are really employees — set hours, uniforms, club-sold sessions.
• Instructors paid for class time only, not set-up, pack-down and mandatory meetings.
• Wrong level for qualifications — Cert IV trainers paid at Level 3.
• Early-morning and weekend loadings missing.

Match your payslip to your classification in the agreement (or the award tables above), and price any gap with our back-pay calculator. Raise it in writing with payroll or your manager first — most underpayments are fixed at that step. Unresolved, the Fair Work Ombudsman (13 13 94) recovers underpayments at no cost, up to six years back, and your union can run the claim for you. Not sure which instrument covers you?
