• Full-timers: $364 per year, split evenly over 26 pay periods, which amounts to $14 per fortnight.
• Proportional: $84 per year plus a proportion of $280 per year, split evenly over 26 pay periods (e.g., a 0.5 proportional tutor pays $84 + 0.5 x $280 = $224 per year, which equals $8.62 per fortnight).
• Part-timers and Casuals: 50% of the full-time fee, resulting in a deduction of $7 per fortnight from your wages.
