$20.50 an hour is below the national minimum wage of $26.44. Unless you are a junior, an apprentice, or on a supported wage, this may be an underpayment — check your award rate. Casual employees receive the 25% loading instead of paid leave, so $25.63 an hour casual is not the same as $25.63 permanent.
