Juniors Years of age Percentage of the applicable adult rate for Level 1, 2, or 3 as appropriate (%) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Under 17 years of 55% ($7.06) 55% ($7.21) 55% ($7.39) age 17 and under 18 65% ($8.34) 65% ($8.52) 65% ($8.73) years of age 18 and under 19 75% ($9.62) 75% ($9.83) 75% ($10.07) years of age 19 and under 20 85% ($10.91) 85% ($11.14) 85% ($11.41) years of age And thereafter at the appropriate adult rate. Note: the rates for juniors in brackets have been calculated on the basis of the minimum adult rates (Fast Food Worker Levels 1, 2 and 3 increased by $0.72 = $12.83; $13.1025; and $13.4275 respectively), before those adult rates were increased to the FMW ($13.47) by the Fair Pay Commission’s Decision No.1. This is because the Fair Pay Commission’s decision indicates that junior rates should be increased in that way.
