Base pay

HR Glossary

Base pay

Employee wages paid for all regular hours worked, not including additional hours worked at higher rates of pay. The Fair Work Act 2009 indicates the base rate of pay cannot include additional loadings, monetary allowances (e.g. dinner allowance), overtime or penalty rates, incentive-based bonuses, or other separately identifiable amounts paid to the employee.
