What is standard overtime in Australia?
Most Modern Awards require time-and-a-half (1.5×) for the first 2–3 hours of overtime per day, then double time (2×) after that. Some agreements pay flat 1.5× for all overtime.
Is overtime tax different?
Overtime is taxed at your marginal rate — same as regular income. However, if overtime pushes your total income into a higher bracket for the year, you may pay more tax overall.
Can my employer refuse to pay overtime?
In Australia, if your award or enterprise agreement specifies overtime rates, your employer must pay them. Salaried employees may have overtime "absorbed" into their salary if they earn above the high-income threshold.
