More than two million workers are being urged to check their pay slips with an increase for employees on minimum award wages taking effect.
A three per cent wage increase applies to all employees on awards from July 1, with the Fair Work Commission's annual review taking the national minimum wage to $740.80 a week or $19.49 an hour.
Australian Council of Trade Unions secretary Sally McManus says people should check their pay slip to make sure they get the increase.
