Fair Work Commission

Introduction

In 2007 the Australian Fair Pay Commission (AFPC) determined a new piece rate Australian Pay and Classification Scale (Pay Scale) for the real estate sector. The Real Estate Agents'(Commission Only) Australian Pay and Classification Scale allows certain employees engaged as real estate agents/salespersons to agree to be paid by commission-only arrangements instead of being paid by hourly rates of pay.
