I have recently started work ( as a casual, of adult age) at a flower farm. The work includes picking, weeding and processing etc.
It's a small business (only 2 employees). When I got my first pay slip, I was surprised to see I was being paid $23/hr. I was told that I have been hired as a farmhand, but I can't find the award casual rate for farmhand.
I would appreciate any information that may point me in the right direction,
Thankyou in advance

Have a look at the Pastoral Award
See also the Horticultural Award

Also, check your new employee paperwork - I'd expect there to be something in that about which award they are using to pay you.
