EA Finder: Compare Your Enterprise Agreement vs Award
We have 10 of Australia's most-searched EAs seeded. For others, click "I'll paste my own rate" above.
How this works
- • The seeded EA rates are publicly-known approximate base rates from FWC filings, with last-verified dates noted per employer. Annual wage review (1 July) and EA anniversary increases mean rates change frequently.
- • The modern award rate is pulled from Fair Work Commission published classification rates (current to FWM's award database).
- • This tool compares HOURLY BASE rates only. Penalty rates, allowances, and non-pay conditions are not included — but they often account for why one EA pays a lower base than the award yet still passes the BOOT (Better Off Overall Test).
- • If your EA appears below the award, that's either a BOOT-balanced trade for better non-pay conditions, an outdated rate, or a compliance issue. Don't assume — open the EA filing at FWC and check the totality.
