I am looking to sign onto a new job, that just recently got absorbed into the misc award but before was working off of an enterprise agreement as no award covered it.

This new job is split shifts (7-11 and 3-5), and claims to be above award wages, but does not offer any penalty rates or a split shift allowance.

The old enterprise agreement was issued in 2011 and from what I've found would have expired after 4 years even if they didn't noe get covered by the award. According to that old agreement the 'better overall' was an incease of a whopping 1 dollar to regular pay to cover the no penalty rates.

Is this legal? Or do they need to pay penalty rates or at least offer more money?

TIA
