Vehicle Repair Service and Retail

The Vehicle Repair, Services and Retail Award has undergone significant changes, particularly impacting the vehicle manufacturing industry. Most notably, these employers and their employees are now covered by the Manufacturing Award, effective May 29th, 2020. Additionally, Sunday penalty rates for casual vehicle salespeople have decreased, and the Award itself has been renamed and expanded to encompass custom vehicle modification. Businesses, especially those in vehicle manufacturing, should review pay rates, annual leave practices, and work hour arrangements to ensure compliance with these updates.
