You are welcome Natalie

Just a quick addition to John's comment on getting the information from the http://www.fairwork.gov.au website.

They would give you the minimum you have to pay and my advice is to always pay more than the minimum as paying just the minimum may just result in the minimum effort from the employee.

Hi Natalie,
Are you looking for a book keeper or an accountant?
I have just been through the process and employed a new internal accountant a couple of weeks ago.
While the previous respondents are correct with their advice about fair work, you can also try looking it up on Google.
