We don't reproduce agreement dollar figures here — the agreement covering your site, state and stream is the document to read. Find your agreement, then your classification, then your pay point, and compare it with your payslip. The award tables on this page are the floor every one of these agreements must beat.

The patterns worth checking on a Dorevitch Pathology payslip:

• Frozen pay points — increments that should step annually but don't, especially after payroll migrations.
• Stream misclassification — admin, ward-support and collector staff left at Level 1–2 while doing Level 3 work.
• Unpaid handover — clinical and shift handover before and after rostered hours is work time.
• Weekend and night loadings dropped when rosters change or systems are replaced.

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?
